J. Foster Flagg, Esq.,
Brooklyn.

Dear Sir: -

The cost of building a foundation and setting a headstone
as per sketch in your letter of 24th will be $6.50, the stones to
be delivered in this cemetery. If the stonecutter does not send
dowells with the stone or prepare the holes to receive them, there
will be an extra charge.

We build our foundations the exact size of the base stone
and down to the lower edge of the grave (5' - 6"). When the foun-
dation is larger than the stone a yellow margin of sod shows aro-
und the base.

Stones coming from New York are usually carried by the
Metropolitan S. S. Co. to Boston, and from thence by Express
to this place. There is no freight depot near here, so it is very much
better to send direct to Boston.

I enclose you a tracing of the lot showing the location
of Mrs. Flagg's grave, please mark on it the exact place on which
the stone will stand, and return with your order.

The foundation will be built as soon as the order is
received, and the stone set when delivered, if the weather is suit-
able.
