Mrs J.G. Flagg Woburn

Dear Madam

In regard to the complaint made a few days ago as to the condition of lot 1770I have looked into the matter and find that there is as much shade there that it will be hard with any care that can be given to keep the lot looking well

There will be no use of sowing grass seed or making any further repairs while the lot is uncared for

Very respectfully J.W. Lovering _Supt. ^pr J.G.S.
