Dear Sir
To move and place on pedestal the Sphinx at Mt Auburn will cost Five hundred (500) dollars. Our plan for moving would be, to raise the Sphinx with screws, then place it on rolls and move with capstan to pedestal. raise up and move over pedestal then clamp with timber and bolts placing the blocking and screws outside of the pedestal, then lower into position.
For explanation we would refer you to Nathaniel J. Bradlee Esq.
