Dear Sir: -

Messrs Bowker, Torrey & Co. have sent me the sizes of two foundations which they say that you are to order. As the season for that kind of work will soon be at an end, it is important that the order, with the exact locations should be sent soon.

Respectfully yours,

Supt.

Chas. E. Hall, Esq., Boston.

Dear Sir: -

I have received an order to build a foundation in the lot of the late Samuel Batchelder, for which you were to send the size. It is important that I should have this at once, as from the number of foundations ordered at this season there may be considerable delay.

Respectfully yours,

W. W. Vaughn, Esq., Boston.

Dear Sir: -

Your note of Dec 4th is received. The work for which enclosed charge is made was done on the lot of the late Samuel Batchelder under an order dated May 16, 1888 and signed by M. W. Batchelder, and a letter dated May 15, 1888 and signed by Miss Mary C. Batchelder for Mrs. Batchelder.

The lot was sold under perpetual care of grass, but this does not cover the care or repair of seqequent additions. The myrtle on the childs grave and in the border is not covered by the perpetual care contract, but as we do not x ^{x now}plant myrtle on graves except in that way, the charge of $20.00 is made, and when paid will be added to the repair fund to provide for future repairs to Mr. Batchelders grave.

Respectfully yours,

Supt.

Dear Sir

Dr Char. D Honsa lot was estimated last August for PerpeCare (G) at $375. He is now prepared to act and would be glad to know if there is any reason for not taking his lot at the same valuation.

I have been to the lot, and should consider there was none, as the lot is in good order and there is no fence or curb & but two very simple headstones.

If the committe prefer I can send a new report, but as he is in some hurry & we have a number on hand, I thought the past might answer.

Very respectfully J.W. Lovering

Jas R. Bayley Esq.

Dear Sir

I handed the bill you gave me a few days ago, for Myrtle lot Oct. 1871 to the Treasurer, who informed me that the bill was approved by Col. Folsom & has been ready for payment since Jan'y 1872.

So that if you will call at his office he will settle with you, without anything being necessary on my part.

Respectfully J.W. Lovering Supt.
