Dear Sir

I have looked
over the work to be done on
lots 1216 & 17 and find that to
remove the fence and all but
6 posts, to recut those, and cut
the number of ^^each lot in one post, to
sod up the post holes, to raise the
sunken grave, to repair the borders
of 1217 and to clean the stones
& plumb where needed will cost
$33⁰⁰ and I will agree to allow
you $25 for the old fences, and ^^if they
it over runs that value at 60 cents
per 100^ths I will allow for the
additional amount.

I think that this is as low as
the work can be done for. I allow
you exactly what I can get for
the old iron here.

If you prefer to have other
parties do the work there is no objec-
tion providing you obtain a permit
from the Secretary at 15 Pemberton
Sq Boston which he will give you
on application.

Yrs truly
J.W. Lovering.
