Dear Sir

The price for the perpetual care of your lot could be about $450 or 500. which covers the yearly care of the lot & the repair or renewal of the sod or monument when necessary. This sum is definitely fixed by our Trustees, and they agree in their contract to keep the lot in order whether the sum proves sufficient or not.

You can deposit with the corporation any sum you see fit (say no less than $150) to be held by them in trust and the income expended on the lot. In this case they do not guarantee that the sum shall be sufficient, they only agree to spend the income as judiciously as possible.

In case you wish to make either of these arrangements I shall be happy to hear from you.

The address of the parties who had the care of the lot last season is P. O'Brien & Son, 88 Sparks St. Cambridge.

In case you desire to choose your plants ^^{out here} you can do so at our greenhouses near the Entrance. Our gardener's name is Collins.

Respectfully J.W. Lovering
