Dear Sir,

The Gatekeeper, who sold you your lot #4286 says he mentioned $125. as the estimated price of grading & sodding, setting posts, and cutting number, and after looking over the items I think the price charged is only a fair amount for the work done.

Respectfully James W. Lovering Supt. J.E.C.
