Cha^s R Green Esq P.O. Box 4502, New York City

Dear Sir

The high winds of a day or two since have blown down and broken in three parts the central one of the three Headstones in your Lot No 117 Beech Ave.

I judge that you would wish to be advised of the matter.

Very Respectfully JW Lovering Supt. per Childs.

Henry L. Hallet Esq

Dear Sir

Your favor of the 8^th inst with bill received which I regret is not satisfactory.

The charge no more than covers the cost of time & material to us, and was made as low as possible because you were disappointed by our mistake; and you are not charged for the time used in correcting the mistake.

I should not know where to begin, were I to make the charge any less, unless I cancelled it altogether.

I supposed when the work was finally done that it was satisfactory to you, if not, I will cancel the entire charge, if you cannot satisfy yourself that it is a just one, as I believe it to be.

Yrs truly J.W. Lovering
