Henry G. Chandler, Esq. Ashville, N. C.

Dear Sir:-

Your note of Feb.11th has been forwarded to me by our Treasurer, for answer. Your lot is in rather poor condition, some of the graves are sunken and the myrtle has in part died out. To regrade and sod the lot, clean the stones and replant the myrtle would cost including care for the season $40.oo. To remove the myrtle and regrade the lot etc. would cost $30.00. To repair the myrtle only without resodding would cost $18.00.

Respectfully yours,

Supt.

Dear Sir

In answer to your favor of yesterday I would say that as the tree so not within your lot. I should desire to consult also the wishes of the owners of other lots near lot #3441 before taking steps for the removal of the tree.

In my judgment the headstones are soiled as much by some of the trees which are more distant as by the one which immediately overhangs and I find it necessary to have the headstones on lots which are under perpetual care cleaned frequently even when there are no trees near.

In regard to the price of a foundation for a double tablet, before I can speak at all definitely I must know the size of the base stone of the headstone. If you will let me know that I can answer by return mail. The foundation can be complete within a week from time ordered & possibly sooner.

Yrs very truly J.W. Lovering Supt
