MRS: C. B. WILSON, BOSTON.

Dear Madam:-

In regard to the charge for cleaning the stone on your lot, I find that the estimate given you in my letter of Sept. 10, 1887 was $3.00, so that the bill sent you is under not over the estimate.

Respectfully yours,

Supt.

Dear Sirs:-

The Faulkner monument is I believe made of Tennessee marble. The makers Evans & Tombs, Huntington Ave. Bridge, Boston will I have no doubt give particulars if you write them.

Respectfully yours, Supt.
