Dear Madam

After furnishing
the plants of the beds & lots
in the cemetery it some-
times happens^some years^ that there
are more plants than [we?]
require, but at this time
it is not possible for me
to say. Should there
be plants left over I
shall be glad to let you
have some.

We have no way of supply

a promise of one hundred
