Dear Sir

The amount expended the
past five years for surveying and engineering are

in 1869	$1187.46	In 1871	$1765.04	In 1873	$748.63
1870	2245.37	1872	1381.15
Total	$7327.65	in five years or	$1465.53 pr year.

I can get a good & competent man for ^$1000, and
perhaps less, who will supply his own instruments.
(viz. a level & a transit.)

There would be the additional expense of say ^$175
to cover the labor of a man to assist at times &
drawing paper &c.

I think I am safe in promising that the average
expense shall at least no more, while we shall
have the benefit of a man here at all times
who will keep up our plans & assist in making
sales when desired

Yours very truly

J. W. Lovering
