Mount Auburn Cemetery

#5839-S.

June 19th. 1889.

Mrs. Mary A. Rice, Lake Geneva, Wisconsin

Dear Madam: -

Your note is received. I have had corner stakes put down on your lot in the location which seems to give the best effect from the corner of Crystal avenue and Jonquil path. The corner posts are level with the sod so that the actual lines for the lot do not determine the position of the monument as much as do the lines made by path and avenue. The slope of the land also modifies the position.

The enclosed sketch shows the location as now staked. Before building I think it would be well if some friend could come out to the Cemetery, and see the proposed location as it may strike others differently.

The cost of removing and resetting and leading the monument, building a new foundation, and changing the grade will be $115.00 (one hundred and fifteen dollars and seventy cents).

Respectfully yours,

J. W. Lovering Sup't. ^pr J.G.S

vacant between Swan & Eagle, Eagle Pearl & Crystal, the circle and the Coolidge lot on Swan Avenue, but will not as heretofore take any care of the paths or avenues beyond edging them.

The front borders of all neglected lots on avenues and paths are to be cut as often as necessary by the section men. Lawn mowers as well as sickles will hereafter be left for [?] pairs at the Engine house - Men will wait for repairs, but will leave their mower & exchange for another.

Particular attention is called to the printed notice on the section hand carts.

The rubbish made by the Jobbers must be more promptly cleaned than in past season.

No changes to be made on any ticket for plants or other work or other work except at the office - nor is any work to be done by the Gardener or his men until the ticket for the same has been given out from the office, except that in cases which do not admit of delay, the Gardener may communicate with the Supt's office by the telephone and make arrangements for doing the work at once.
