Dear Sir,

Enclosed please find your bill of Nov. 13, [18]69.

As the bill was incurred some time before, I took charge here and ^^as I know nothing about it, it would be better to send it direct to the President of the Corporation.

together with a statement of the circumstances.

Yours Respectfully, C.W. Folsom

Mr. Brewer

Dear Sir,

In your letter of 21^st inst, recd you asked to have made and set "a granite foun"dation" for a tablet, on your lot.

The regular underground foundation has been ordered ^ ^{by me;} but we did not quite understand whether you wished us to furnish the ground or not. This "base" is usually included in the contract of the man who furnishes the tablet or monument, but if you wish us to furnish it we will do so.

Please inform as at your earliest convenience in regard to the matter, and oblige

Yours Respectfully, C.W. Folsom, Supt.
