Dear Sir

The items of bill on lot #730 are for grading

and sodding the lot	$35.00
Cutting the number	3.00
2 additional posts set	8.00
[total]	$46.00

The estimate of $5 for setting posts was made in answer to your letter of May 5 which states that the posts were to be furnished by you, and the present charge of $8 is for the posts and the setting according to the arrangement made with one foreman.

Hoping this explanation will be satisfactory. I am

Respectfully J.W. Lovering
