John K Deane Under Tremont House, Boston:

Dear Sir

Your letter of the 15 inst - is received and in reply I would state that no order was sent for your signature from the office of the Corporation, previous to the one refered to in your letter. We have no order on file for the care &c of your lot during the year 1874. There are two outside parties who do a little of the gardening work who have no connection whatever with the Corporation. It seems probable that not being aware of the fact you may have signed an order sent by them. Such being the case, if you return us the order signed, with such alterations and additions as you see fit to make we will endeavor to carry out your instructions in a satisfactory manner.

Very Respectfully James W.Lovering Supt. per Childs.

The Lot was top dressed with the manure as you ordered by the Corporation this fall.
