Dear Sir

It will cost $12 To paint the fence in lot #914, 2 coats black. We are so busy just now that I could not promise it under 10 days.

I would advise you to remove this fence. The old material in it will pay for cutting over 4 posts for corners, cutting no. of lot on one of them, filling up and sodding over other post holes and cleaning all stone in the lot.

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