Dear Sir

With reference to our conversation yesterday I wish to add that I do not care to have the marble cleaned, but should like to have the slabs fixed on the base as firmly as possible they will not stand unless the water is kept out & my own idea is that it is better to lead themIf a long dowel can be put in & then leaded I should prefer this- I will ^leave it to you to have them fixed so that they will last forever & regretting to have disturbed yr nap I am very truly

Eben Bacon

I do not think the two small stones in the front of the lot need to be disturbed -
