Miss A. Rice
Flushing N.Y.

Dear Madam

Your favor of 9^th is received I have
examined lot #3586 and make the following estimate of
the expense necessary to put the lot in proper order

Sodding	$35-50
Cleaning stone	10.00
Repairing curb	17.50
Myrtle	5.00
[Total]	$68.00

I would not insure the sod unless a tree which
is in the lot is removed. The shadow from it prevents
the grass from growing and I would advise its
removal the expense of which would be $7.00 additional
4⁰⁰ is above this rate includes the care of the lot for one year.

This lot I believe has had no care since [18]77. That
year it had care, plants and top dressing to the amount of $11.50
which charge I find still on the books against the estate of
Mrs. Anne R. P. Burroughs from which I judge the bill must have
been sent to the wrong parties

Very respectfully
James W Lovering
Supt
