Dear Sir: -

The fence on lot 2068, Central ave., in the name of the heirs of S. K. Williams needs to be painted. The donation of $40.00 is not enough to cover this expense. Will the heirs be willing to pay for this or would they consent to the removal of the fence, which can be done for the old material.

Messrs. Henry Murray & Co., Boston.

Dear Sirs: -

We cannot build the foundation at the grave of Susan Braman as we do not know where that grave is. Some member of the family had better come out and point out the location on the lot. I understand that you want both these foundations built at the end of the graves furthest from the avenue, if this is not so please notify me before the foundations are built.

As you stand on the avenue the grave of Caroline P. Perham is in the right hand front corner of the lot, and that of John Perham is immediately on the left of it.

Respectfully yours,

Supt.
