George M. Doe Esq

Dear Sir

Your favor of the 15^th inst received and in reply I would say that your postal order was received and that the usual orders were given our gardener. The lot has had to date the usual care with the exception of plants, the grass having been cut as often as on the other lots.

It has been Mrs Doe's custom to select her plants herself & she was always particular to do so, & as nothing was said to the contrary the gardener supposed she would do so this year. I have directed him to put in the plants as nearly like what are usually supplied as possible & would say that in doing as the did, he believed he was doing what was desired.

Your very truly J.W. Lovering Supt.
