Dear Sir

In regard to the borders for lots 822 Converse, & 930 Bates, I suppose you are aware of the vote of the Trustees last summer that no more lots should have the borders enclosed unless the lot was separately enclosed also.

However I understood you the other day that you were proposing to curb both the lot with one curb, & the other borders with a second & if so all well good.

To curb over to the avenue lines which we shall keep just as they now are, would require nearly a 7 foot border on both lots. I think as it is decided not to widen the avenue, the curb for the border better be placed on the present avenue line _

Yours truly

J. W. Lovering

Chair, Comm. on Lots

Dear Sir

There has lately been erected on Lot ^#994 (under the care of Corporation) a marble monument to Fanny Fern.

Owing to the position of the grave a portion of the hedge had to be removed by the monument maker in order to get room for the base, as it comes very close to the line of the lot.

It was understood here that the monument was erected where the owners wished it.

These trees were not replaced as I thought, you might arrange to have the hedge removed, but in other respects the lot seems to be in good order, and the marble cover is certainly of a pleasing design.

Yours truly

J. W. Lovering.

Dear Sir

Your favor of the 9^th inst rec^d In 1872 you only ordered Care & no plants for which the charge was ^$5.00, but in 1873 I find your order calls for care & plants and later in the season you gave an order to have the lot top dressed with manure, all of which has been done.

This I hope will explain satisfactorily the increase of price over last year

Yours truly

J. W. Lovering
