A. A. Barker Esq Sup^t of Interments

Dear Sir

Mr. M^cArthur will take charge of the general work in Cemetery on and after Feby 1^st.

I have notified him to allow S. W. Hutchings 1/2 a day for every Sunday morning he is at gate, and that G. E. S. Hutchings and Mulvy Wailes be your regular men & would be allowed all their time when present (cost per day) also that they would take their turn at being present on Sunday & could be [alieved?] for it.

In case you need a second man on Sundays I expect you to keep one, only I should prefer as Hutchings & Mulvey are among the highest paid, not to pick out the most expensive men if possible. This will give you two men on every wet day & one man on Sundays. Even if there has no notice been given of any funeral.

Yrs truly J. W. Lovering
