Messrs Burnham & Lowell

Dr Sirs

Please make what repairs are necessary on fence on Lot 1518, Geranium Path, front being broken in cutting a tree.

When you are out please look at the signs "under the perpetual care of the Corporation" which are fastened to the iron fences, and see if they can be neatly altered to stand in the ground as on many of the lots & let me know the cost apiece for altering say 50.

Yours truly J.W.Lovering Sup^t

Miss Almira P. Needham,

Dear Madam

The iron fence which surrounds your Lot (#2606) is broken if you would like to have it repaired please advise us and we will see that it is promptly done and at as little expense as possible.

Very respectfully James W.Lovering Supt J.E.C.

Geranium Path -- nos 1228, 1232. He says Mr Barker went with him & measured the lots in regard to sodding, & that he admitted he was charged for too many feet of sod in 1400 feet -- The bill is 67.45, & he is ready to pay it.

W^m G. Wise prop^r of lot no. 620 replies to my demand of payment of bill of $75.00 that he has written you that there was something to be done & covered by the $75.00 which is not included within the bill, & that he is only waiting to know that the same is done to settle his bill. --

I also send you a bill against me, which if I understand, is contrary even to the bad precedent which we have in cases of 2^d interment in same grave. -- If I owe for a 2^d int. I should not be charged with $20. for the 1^st. If for the 1^st, as there was but one opening of the grave, I should not be charged for the 2^d--

Please report upon lot no 3768 -- Mary Ann Scott for perpetual repair. She has paid her bill today.

Respectfully yours

A.J. Coolidge
