Dear Sirs:-
In asking the price of the North River stone I gave the wrong width. The whole width of two stones is 6' - 10", so that the two stones wanted will be each 8' - 8" x 3' - 5" x o' - 3". Please give me your price for these ,also say if there would be any difference if they were only 2 inches thick instead of 3 inches. Your early reply will oblige.
Respectfully yours, Supt.

THE NEW ENGLAND MONUMENT CO. NEW YORK.
Dear Sirs:-
Your note of 17th is received, and I have forwarded an application for a permit as directed. If when you make a contract for work in this cemetery you will ask the parties to put themselves in communication with our Boston Office (#5 Pemberton Sq.) the Secy will issue a permit on the application of the proprietor of the lot. This permit should be forwarded here or brought by the teamster with his first load.
Respectfully yours,
Dear Madam:-
Your note is received. None of the marbles stand well out of doors, and the more elaborate the work the greater the liability to decay.
Respectfully yours, Supt.

J. H. ELLISON, Esq., WALTHAM.
Dear Sir:-
I have just seen your lot, and think it will compare favorably with lots that have the same provision for care. It may be that you made the comparison with some of our perpetual care lots, but there the amounts are large enough to cover special care, repairs and watering, and these will of course look better. I will have some grass seed sown in your lot which will help it somewhat.
Respectfully yours, Supt.

Respectfully yours, Supt.

S.A. DENIO, Esq., Boston.
Dear Sir:-
Your note of 12th is received. I have made enquiry as to the North River stone but am unable to get a quotation as low as you give. It is not often that we need this stone, so that we would not be likely to get it at a low figure; would it not be well therefore for you to procure the stone and send it here when we can set it. The size needed is an odd one, and I have not found a dealer in Boston who has it. If the projection is 2 inches each stone will require to be 8' - 8" x 3' - 5" x 0' - 3". In making an interment it will be very awkward to handle so large a stone.
Respectfully yours,
Supt.
