Dear Sir

Your note of yesterday is received. The Cemetery Corporation never furnish granite we only do the setting when it is brought here - I have looked at your lot #3401 (not #3216) and find a flight of steps would have to be 1'-2" narrower than those on the Lawrence and Rotch lots so as to conform to your gateway. The cost set on your lot would I think be from $160 to $175 - but you may get a lower figure from the stonecutter.

Very respectfully James W Lovering pr J.C.S. Supt
