sibility necessary for us.

Last year the charge for care on each lot was $12. = $24. besides $5. for myrtle on Mrs Kinmouth's, & $7 on your mother's --

My impression is that you had better pay the bills for care of lots, & planting myrtle, & leave the other bills completed with the monument & sodding, if you think necessary.

We do not like to neglect so prominent lots, & presume the proprietors, when considering the matter, would feel the same aversion; but they must not find fault with the Corporation for neglect, if no evidence of their wishes can be gathered.

I enclose a blank order, which if you sign & return ^^{will be} all right. Please give me the name of Mrs K's husband in full.

Yours Respy.
