#2216-L.

Nov. 19th. 1889.

P.C. Welch, Esq.,
#5 Tremont St., Room #51, Boston.

Dear Sir: -

The estimate of one thousand dollars for the perpetual
care of lot #2216 includes the care and repairs of the sodding up-
on all the land inside the fence and upon such pieces outside as
are owned by the Sohier family in connection with the lot, the
strip on the top of the bank wall being one; also the care of
the myrtle and peony, the covering with wooden box of the cross,
the washing and pointing, but not the renewal of the monument and
headstones, the repairing of the bank wall at rear, and the paint-
ting of the iron fence while it lasts.

The covering of the myrtle is never specified in the acon-
tracts, but it is protected in whatever seems to be a suitable way.

The peony was removed from the lot to greenhouse during
certain changes and repairs, and will be set out again, but it is
not understood that it requires to be taken up and stored at the
greenhouse each Winter and such care is not included.

The bill of thirty six dollars ($36.00) was for the foun-
dation of the monument, and that of four dollars and ninety cents
($4.90) for the foundation and setting of a small marker.

Respectfully yours,

Sup't.
