Mrs. A.C. Draper

Dear Madam

As yet no order has been received
for the care of Lot #1658. The lot has for several years
past been taken care of by the Corp.ⁿ and the Monument
cover removed in the spring, stored through the summer
and put on before the winter began at an annual expense
of five dollars for care and three for plants.

The cover has been removed this spring by, us &
stored and although I know of no reason why the work done
has been unsatisfactory, the lot has been given to other
Gardeners, I learn, to take care of. I hope you will
reconsider this and still have the Corporation do the work
as heretofore. Should you prefer to have the lot, taken
care of by, other parties, you will of course arrange with
them to take charge of your monument cover, or I can
do that part, if you prefer but shall in such can
of course make a seperate charge for it.

Very Respectfully
J.W. Lovering Sup.^t
