Capt. Winsor

Dear Sir,

I have just rec^d from Mr Chas. R. Messenger of Toledo Ohio, prop^r of lot 3469, the enclosed orders, with his draft to cover the amount -- $65.00 -- paid in advance, & he desires you to proceed to execute the orders forthwith. $50. for new grading & sodding -- $6. for care of lot & plants, & $9. to be "expended in a few suitable flowers, the selection of which I will leave to your Superintendent's taste."

He intends at some day to enclose the lot with curb, but thinks the expenditures here ordered will greatly improve his lot. --

Mr Joel Richards has just called in, & desires me to say
