Bowker, Torrey & Co., Boston.

Dear Sirs:-

Your note and postal card of yesterday are received. We have not received an order from Mr. Barnard lot #349. In your order for setting the slab on lot #3518 you say the inscription is to be the reverse of one formerly there, but you omit to say how it was formerly placed. In regard to the Warren lot foundations, I can only repeat what I wrote you Aug. 16/88 to the effect that the location of the grave of Josiah F. Warren was not known to us (the name not being found on the records). There need be no delay about building these whenever you can give us the necessary information as to where they are to go. Enclosed please find tracing of the lot for your guidance.

Respectfully yours,

Supt.

Bowker, Torrey & Co., Boston.

Dear Sirs:-

Enclosed I send you the tracing referred to in my note of this morning. There are two stones in the lot, the central monument and a headstone marked Josiah Fiske Aged 2 Yrs. 9 Mos.

Mr. McArthur saw the lady in regard to the foundations on the Sargent Lot #3266, but she did not give an order.

Respectfully yours,

Supt.

Alexander McDonald & Son, Cambridge.

Dear Sirs: -

No order has been received at this office for setting the headstone on lot #4534. An order, which appears to have come through your firm, for the foundation only, has been received and completed.

The tablet on the Prescott lot was set in two separate jobs, in accordance with your request, the base on May 29th and the balance last month, and hence the charge $2.20 is larger than if set at one time. The Prescott headstone must have been washed since you have seen it, as it now appears to be perfectly clean.

Respectufully yours,

Moses Sargent, Esq., Boston.

Dear Sir: -

Messrs Bowker, Torrey & Co. have sent me the sizes of two foundations which they say that you are to order. As the season for that kind of work will soon be at an end, it is important that the order, with the exact locations should be sent soon.

Chas. E. Hall, Esq., Boston.

Dear Sir: -

I have received an order to build a foundation in the lot of the late Samuel Batchelder, for which you were to send the size. It is important that I should have this at once, as from the number of foundations ordered at this season there may be considerable delay.

Respectfully yours,
