C. U. Cotting, Esq., Boston.

Dear Sir:-

Your note of yesterday is received. The deposit named for the perpetual care with guaranty of the monument erected on the R.H.Eddy lot #4761 was two hundred and seventy five (275) dollars.

In front of the Eddy tomb on lot #362 (for the perpetual care of which you paid last January) are two shrubs much overgrown, and it would be better to remove them altogether, or replace with younger plants. Is there any objections to so doing?

Yours truly, J.W. Lovering Supt.

Messers Evans & Tombs

Dear Sirs:

Your order for a foundation in lot 1965 received, but as there are several graves in the rear of the lot which extend to within about one foot of centre of same, I think it will be necessary to place the monument farther front.

Yours Resp'y
