Mrs. A. H.Savile,

Cambridge, Mass.

Dear Madam: -

The cost of raising and sodding over the small places in the Carruth lot will be three dollars ($3.00). Replanting the myrtle on Dr. Saville's grave in your lot will be twelve dollars ($12.00). Myrtle is so uncertain and at best looks well but a short time each year so that many proprietors are removing it from their lots.

Dear Sirs: -

The small cogs of the Ross lawn mowers are received and four of them are defective.

It might be possible to have the resodding done before memorial day but the gardener is too busy with the plants to make repairs to the myrtle before that time.

Dear Sir: -

I have received your sketch of bases to be placed on the Blake family lot, but I do not quite understand just what informayou desire and if you will write me I will give the matter prompt attention.

Mrs. J.E. Chapman,

Grafton, Mass.

Dear Madam: -

Your note is received and will have attention. The sulphur with which the headstone of Dummer R. Chapman was set has eaten into the marble and I am afraid that it cannot be removed.

A plain flight of five (5) steps without buttresses will cost including the underground foundation and setting seventy five dollars ($75.00). If any thing more elaborate is wanted a stonecutter could provide it but in that case a plan to be submitted to the committee should be sent here before the work of cutting is be-
