F. E. Davidson, Esq.,

c/o Baring Bros & Co.
London, England.

Dear Sir: -

Your note is received. The fence on the lot might be
repaired but the expense would be considerable, and as it is rusty
and unsightly the appearance of the lot and its surroundings would
be improved, and the constant expense of painting avoided by remov-
ing it as very many of our proprietors have done with the fences
on their lots. To do this, remove all the posts but four at the
corners, recut those and cut the number of the lot on one of them,
fill up and sod over the other post holes, raise a sunken grave and
build a foundation under a headstone now out of plumb, with the
care of the lot for the year 1889 would cost $10.00 and the old
material of the fence.

The care of the lot without plants or topdressing would
cost $2.00 a year, as you are abroad I would suggest that an order
for the care of the lot until countermanded would keep the grass
cut and the lot clean and tidy.

Respectfully yours,

Supt.
