P.O. CAMBRIDGE, MASS.

CAMBRIDGE, Nov. 7th 1881

Wm. G. Reed Esqr Boston

Dear Sir

On Mrs Wyman's lot #3262 there are some trees which overhang the adjoining lot and cause some damage to headstones. Would you object to the removal of 1 hemlock, at rear of lot

Very respectfully

James W Lovering per J.C.S. Supt

Mrs Wyman would not insist on retaining trees that were a detriment to the Cemetery or injured neighboring lots or monuments. I shall have to leave it to you to do as you would, were you the owner of the lot.

Respy

W^m G. Reed
