T.M. Merriman Esq West Dedham

Dear Sir

Can you inform me whether in placing the bodies now in the grave which you own (& in which you have petitioned the Trustee to allow a third interment,) the matter of making a third interment was provided for and the bodies placed at an extra depth so as to leave room for a burial above without coming within three feet of the surface

If this was not done, should you wish to have the bodies now then lowered so that it could be done at your expense & provided that the Trustee, as soon as the was done would grant you the privilege of making the three interment?

Yrs very truly J.W. Lovering Supt.
