Henry A. Mellen Esqr Boston

Dear Sir

In regard to putting lots 3735-6 & 3825-6 in good order I find they are too far gone to seed down and that by far the best way will be to resod them.

That with the other repairs needed on the four lots I estimate will cost as follows viz

Resodding including care for [18]81	$100.00
Cleaning stones	8.00
Resetting, clamping, & leading curb & borders	40.00
[Total]	$148.00

The last item may seem somewhat high and something might be saved on it by not clamping but it would be very poor economy as the stone would soon be out of place again and I think it would be a pity to resod at this expense and have the granite in an unsightly condition.

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