Dear Sir

The fence about lot #504 was removed immediately after the time the order was given.

The old iron brought in excess of the cost of removing $3.98 which I will apply to the care of the lot, as far as it will go, this next summer or make such other disposition of it as may be proper -

Very Respectfully JW Lovering Sup^t per Child
