Mrs. M. H. Dehon,
#273 Fifth Avenue, New York.

Dear Madam: -

The brown-stone posts under the fence are in very poor condi-
tion, and unless replaced soon, the fence must be removed. They
should be replaced, if at all, with a more durable stone, which
would make it necessary to replace all the stonework, the expense of
which would be entirely out of proprotion to the results obtained.

Contracts are not made for the perpetual care of less than a
whole lot, but after the lot has been arranged as desire you can pro-
bably come to some understanding with the owner of the other part,
so that the perpetual care of the whole can be provided for.

To regrade and sod the whole enclosure would cost one hundred
and forty dollars ($140.00) and to regrade and sod one half of it
would cost eighty dollars ($80.00). If the whole lot were regraded
and sown with grass seed the expense would be seventy dollars ($70.00)
or forty dollars ($40.00) for half the lot and although you would
have to wait longer, our experience is that the results are fully as
good. The grass will not grow well under the two trees that remain,
but until the room is needed for interments, I think it would be a
pity to remove them.

Respectfully yours,
J. W. Lovering Sup't.
