Dear Sir

I send you a plan of the arrangement of catacombs for your lot which leaves few spares in center of the lot than I had supposed.

The best suggestion I can make if all of the catacombs are wanted is that the catacomb which I have marked with a cross should be moved to one of the two positions which I have indicated in the plan by xx (i.e. either the front or back right hand portion of lot.) which will leave room for a monument, if not too large in the center of the lot, but toward the front so as not to lap over the vacant catacomb next to that one in which the burial of Jane Glover was made.

I think the base of the monuments if square should not exceed 3 or 4 ft. If sq sarcophagus should be erected it could be 6 or 7 ft x 3'-4'.
