Elisha Bassett, Esq. Newton Centre.

Dear Sir: -

Your note to our Treasurer has been forwarded to me for answer. I am sorry that the bill sent you for repairs to the myrtle is not satisfactory. I have examined the charge, and do not think it is an unfair one. The charges for repairs to myrtle are more unsatisfactory to both sides than any other class of work we do. If the myrtle is not in good condition in the Spring following the repairs we are expected to make it good. In fairness to the Corporation I do not see that any deduction could be made in your bill, unless you are willing to take the risk of the young myrtle going over the winter, in which case a reduction of $2.50 might be made.

Respectfully yours,

Supt.

Dear Sir

Your favor of yesterday is received

The trees whose shade was hurtfull to the grass in your lot #2874 have been removed with such others, in the vicinity, as was deemed proper

I see no reason, if proper care be excerised why the appearance of the lot should not improve in the future

Very Respectfully Jas W. Lovering Sup^t per Childs
