JAS BRUERTON, Manager, Branch Office, 24 Exchange Place,

Boston, Massachusetts, April 4th 1891. ]

J. W. Lovering, Esquire, Superintendent of Mt. Auburn Cemetery,

Dear Sir:

I am in receipt of your favor of the 3rd instant, suggesting the removal of the tree from our lot #2902. This tree has grown from a slip planted there by my mother, and I should regret exceedingly, having it removed, although if it is actually liable to injure the property of others, I should feel the necessity of giving my consent. I will endeavor to get out there soon and will then confer with you, about it.

Yours Respectfully, James Bruerton
