BALDWIN & EMERSON

Dear Sirs:-

At what price will you deliver at this cemetery two North River flags 8'-8" x 6'-10" x 0'-3". They are for covering burial vaults, so the edges should be broken to line and one surface flat.

Respectfully yours ,

Supt.

HENRY W. HOLBROOK, Esq., 10 MILK ST., BOSTON.

Dear Sir:-

The gardener reports that the grave of which you complain was in poor condition when the other repairs were made, or in such condition that he did not think it well to take any myrtle from it as was done with the others. To properly replant it will cost $7.00.

Respectfully yours,

Supt.

Sept. 15, 1888.

MRS: C. B. WILSON, BOSTON.

Dear Madam:-

In regard to the charge for cleaning the stone on your lot, I find that the estimate given you in my letter of Sept. 10, 1887 was $3.00, so that the bill sent you is under not over the estimate.

Respectfully yours,

Supt.

Sept. 15, 1888.

The Faulkner monument is I believe made of Tennessee marble. The makers Evans & Tombs, Huntington Ave. Bridge, Boston will I have no doubt give particulars if you write them.

#2620-S

Sept. 15, 1888.

DAVID H. GILE, Esq., #1837 INDIANA AVE., CHICAGO

Dear Sir:-

Your letter of 10th has been forwarded me by our Treasurer. Lot #2620 on Orchis pah is triangular in shape, and contains 150 sq. feet. The two interments now there were made before we kept the exact locations of the bodies, so that without digging down it is impossible to tell how much space is left. From the appearance of the surface there may be room for two more graves, but the surface indications are not always reliable.

Respectfully yours,

Supt.

#3125-S

Sept. 17, 1888.

MRS. M. A. BREWER, #219 Cottage St., Dorchester.

Dear Madam:-

Your note is received. Two catacombs for future use if built side by side would cost $40.00, if one is built over the other the lower one would have 8 inch walls and the cost would be $45.00. I suppose the Turpin lot #3125 is the one you refer to.

Respectfully yours, Supt.
