Miss Mary T. Bradford,
Lancaster, Mass.

Dear Madam: -

Your note is received. To spade up the lot, enrich
with manure, add sufficient loam to fill up the depressions and
sow grass seed will cost $25.00

For the same work, but instead of seeding to replace the
sod as far as it will go , and furnish the balance needed to resod
the lot will cost $35.00.

Both these estimates include the care of the lot for 1889
but not the replanting of the myrtle, the understanding being that
it will be removed.

Building proper foundations under seven headstones and
setting them will cost $34.40. Our rules require that all stones
be set on foundations that are built to the lower edge of the grave
(about 5' - 6" ), and our experieince is that a less depth will not
make permanent work.

Cleaning all the stone in the lot will cost $10.00.

The old fence will pay for its removal, recutting four
posts for the corners, removing the other posts and filling up the
holes and cutting the number of the lot, provided the work is done
at the same time as the grading.
