Dear Sir

Your favor of Nov 12^th rec^d I find you ordered Top dressing of manure in April 1873. and Col. Folsom then still in office had super-phosphate put on, tho' why the order was not carried out exactly I do not know.

In September I received your order to top dress with manure, which has been done.

As the first top dressing order was done with superphosphate instead of manure (as ordered) you need not pay it. If you think the charge an unfair one & I will send the Treasurer a copy of this letter.

Respectfully J.W. Lovering Supt.

Shall be happy to receive your order for 1874.

Mr. H.F. Edes

Dear Sir:

Your letter of the 12^th inst is received. The myrtle you speak of was planted when you ordered it and the bill I enclose with this. By the wording of your letter I judge you wish the Corporation to take care of the lot, but you do not wish plants or top dressing. I hold the letter as an order to that effect. If I am in error, that is if you do not wish the care taken please countermand the same

Very Respectfully James W Lovering per Childs
