Dear Madam

Lot #1533 Chestnut A. is worth about $400 to $450.

In regard to your inquiries about #1340 Cypress A. The Trustees will probably make no objection to taking the lot under perpetual care as it now is, with the Fence, after the same is painted. They would prefer, probably to take the lot without any fence cast or anything of the kind, with simply a granite post at each corner to mark the boundaries, but do not insist, upon the removal of the fence. In fact the objections to a fence apply with equal force to curbs or other enclosures. The probable cost of Perpetual Care of this lot after the fence is painted will be $650 to $700. - We can paint the fence when you desire it done.

Very Respectfully
