Mrs. James C. Fisk, Quincy St., Cambridge.

Dear Madam:-

I have looked very carefully into the charge for the work on your lot and find that the foundation was for a larger and heavier monument than in the former case. The work was constructed in an entirely different way in accordance with what was understood to be your wishes. If you will see Mr. McArthur when you are here I think he will be able to give you a satisfactory explaination in detail.

Respectfully yours,

Supt.

A.P. Kitching, Esq., #15 Mills St., Boston.

Dear Sir:-

On Sept. 12th the remains of Anna P. Kitching were deposited in our Receiving tomb. The undertaker did not pay the fee, and as this is payable in advance I will be obliged if you will forward me the amount ($20.00) that I may be able to square my accounts for the month.

Respectfully yours, Supt.

Bowker, Torrey & Co., Boston.

Dear Sirs:-

Enclosed I send you the tracing referred to in my note of this morning. There are two stones in the lot, the central monument and a headstone marked Josiah Fiske Aged 2 Yrs. 9 Mos.

Mr. McArthur saw the lady in regard to the foundations on the Sargent Lot #3266, but she did not give an order.

Respectfully yours,

Supt.

Alexander McDonald & Son, Cambridge.

Dear Sirs: -

No order has been received at this office for setting the headstone on lot #4534. An order, which appears to have come through your firm, for the foundation only, has been received and completed.

The tablet on the Prescott lot was set in two separate jobs, in accordance with your request, the base on May 29th and the balance last month, and hence the charge $2.20 is larger than if set at one time. The Prescott headstone must have been washed since you have seen it, as it now appears to be perfectly clean.

Respectufully yours,

R. A. Ballou, Esq., #3 Studio Building, Boston.

Dear Sir: -

The drawing you send me does not agree with the locations of the graves on the lot, and to prevent any mistake I think it would be well for you to come out and show Mr. McArthur on the lot where the foundations are to go. It is so long since you talked with him on this subject that it has passed from his mind.

Respectully yours, Supt.
