J. H. ELLISON, Esq., WALTHAM.

Dear Sir:-

I have just seen your lot, and think it will compare favorably with lots that have the same provision for care. It may be that you made the comparison with some of our perpetual care lots, but there the amounts are large enough to cover special care, repairs and watering, and these will of course look better. I will have some grass seed sown in your lot which will help it somewhat.

Respectfully yours, Supt.
