Sam^l T. Snow Esq. Ch. Comm on Lots

Dr Sir

On examining the estimate under which Lot 1127, C.C. Little was received under perpetual care. I find no mention of any of the monuments or stones, being in poor condition.

Shall I write Mrs Little & with her consent replace the broken cross at an expense of $25. There would appear to be about $18.00 to the credit of the lot for use in 1873, but as the lot is a large one most of this will be needed to cover annual care.

In regard to Hazel Dell, the only reservation I find is that no tomb can be erected on the south side.

Respectfully James W. Lovering Sup^t

Mrs C.C. Little

Dear Madam

I learn that you requested that a broken cross on Lot 1127 might be replaced, the lot being under care of the corporation.

If you have no objection I will order one of the freestone, that being really more durable than, the present stone - Please let me know if you have any choice in the matter.

Respectfully J.W. Lovering Sup^t
