Dear Sir

In looking up the enclosed bill, I find that only the usual charges have been made you, and as far as I can understand for just what was ordered, and at prices agreed on at the time. I enclose the copies of the orders given us. The myrtle I suppose you understand is not an annual, but will last for a number of years.

If this explanation is not satisfactory will you let me know what will be.

Yrs very truly J.W. Lovering

Dear Sir

Your iron fence will be worth $8⁰⁰, and four of the corner posts can be recut and placed at the corners and the number cut for that sum. I think the four would be better than more, and the fence would not bring enough to pay for cutting the additional posts. To cut them would cost $6.00.

Yrs truly J.W. Lovering
