Madam

Your note received. The charge for planting myrtle is $7 for each full size grave. The laurel in the border was not done very well. The trouble is not with the shrub however but because there is too much shade and any other shrub put in its place would act in the same way. Still I would not advise cutting any of the trees as that would be much more of a sacrifice than there would be gain in having a shrub in the border.

Dear Sir

Sometime ago you requested an estimate made of repairs needed on curbing of your lot #3320.

I find it needs to be reset, secured with clamps and releaded at joints. The cost will be $23⁰⁰/100
