DAVID H. GILE, Esq., #1837 INDIANA AVE., CHICAGO

Dear Sir:-

Your letter of 10th has been forwarded me by our Treasurer. Lot #2620 on Orchis pah is triangular in shape, and contains 150 sq. feet. The two interments now there were made before we kept the exact locations of the bodies, so that without digging down it is impossible to tell how much space is left. From the appearance of the surface there may be room for two more graves, but the surface indications are not always reliable.

Respectfully yours,

Supt.

MRS. M. A. BREWER, #219 Cottage St., Dorchester.

Dear Madam:-

Your note is received. Two catacombs for future use if built side by side would cost $40.00, if one is built over the other the lower one would have 8 inch walls and the cost would be $45.00. I suppose the Turpin lot #3125 is the one you refer to.

Respectfully yours, Supt.

Mrs. A. H. Rice, Boston.

Dear Madam: -

The Gardener reports that one of your roses has decayed and broken off where it was budded on to the stock, and that the other is so old that it should be replaced with a younger plant next Spring. In viw of that do you think it well to go to the expense of having the stored this Winter.

Respectfully yours,

Supt.

M. A. Brewer, Esq., Dorchester.

Dear Sir: -

Your order is received, and appears to be all clear.

I find that there is a bill due on the lot ($2.00) for care of the lot in 1884, and as the Trustees do not permit me to do work on lots where there are back bills, will you please arrange the matter with our Treasurer (#5 Pemberton Sq., Boston) so that the work can go on.

Respectfully yours

Supt.
