Mrs. S.B. Read 85 Eutaw St E. Boston

Madam

On your Lot #3616 you must have employed some gardener not connected with the Corporation as we have never had any charge against you for repairing myrtle. We should be pleased to do any work that you might order

Geo B Neal Esq. Charlestown Mass

Dear Sir

In answer to your letter of the 16 inst I enclose an estimate of the total expense of placing your lot in proper order, including grading sodding and painting fences. The cost will not be over $60.00.

Of course if you have this work done then will be no need of raising the sunken [graves?] after the grading &c is completed.

Very Respectfully James W Lovering by P.C.C.

L.B. Russell Esq 34 Mt. Vernon St Boston

Dear Sir

The sum charged for the care of Lot #1425 viz: $5.00 has never been received at this office; if sent at all it must have been to the Treasurer in Boston.

The order for the care is signed by A.E.P. Lever, hence I think you are mistaken

Dear Sir

It is decided to put up the new Greenhouse this fall.

As there was some doubt as to how much material there was on hand, I wish you would see how much there is, and give me a price which will complete the wood & iron work which may be necessary to erect a house similar to no 4 & 5. As well as the painting & mason work, I propose to furnish the glass & glaze the sashes myself, but shall want to have you furnish the sash. Please give me a new piece on this basis.

C. M^cArthur Esq Belmont

Respectfully J.W. Lovering Sup^t

We should be happy to receive an order from you
