Dear Madam

I have received your note in regard to the setting out of more trees near your lot on Ivy Path, and have visited the place.

There would seem to be more opportunity to plant trees on the south side of your lot, than just opposite as there is a tree now not very far from the head of the steps.

Every year some trees are set out, but there are more places now where they are needed than can be filled at once, so that I can not promise to set out the trees at once, tho' I will bear your request in mind. There will be no objection to your doing this yourself if you prefer provided they are not placed too close together and do not interfere with the other lots.

Respectfully

J.W. Lovering

Dear Madam

I am sorry that there has been a misunderstanding in regard to repairs to myrtle.

The order you left at the Boston office requested that the graves be examined. This was done and I wrote you May 23rd that 2 graves were sunken and 2 needed repairs and that the expense would be $5 and you sent a letter June 6th requesting that the work be done.

The bill may seem large but the work was needed to put the myrtle in permanent repair.

Very respectfully James W Lovering pr J.C.S. Supt

Mrs Jane E. Chapman Roxbury

Dear Madam

I am requested by Mr Mackintosh our Treasurer to send you a copy of the order under which the repairs to myrtle graves were done.

On May 12th I received an order for the care of lot 687 and a request to examine the myrtle graves and see that they were in good order. The gardner examined them and reported that they needed repairs to the amount of $5. I then wrote you a note (May 23) of which I enclose you a copy and received a reply (June 6th) of which I also enclose you a copy.

Very respectfully James W. Lovering pr J.C.S. Supt.
