Dear Sir,

A letter rec^d by you some time

that I didn't know to whom to send the
enclosed bills -- and now I am in doubt
of one of the initials of your first name --
In replying, please write out your name
in full. The bills sent herewith are
more than 6 mos. overdue --

Gardening --	$12.00
Foundation for headstones	4.50
[total]	16.50

Please also state whether the prop^r left
a will -- if so, how thereunder the lot
is disposed of either specifically, or by effect.
Also who are his heirs at law -- names, res-
idence & degree of relationship. I will
then enclose you one of our blank peti-
tions to represent lot.

Resp.y yours

Dear Sir,

Will you inquire ^^[?] send
to Robert B. Safford on the following,
& make me a specific answer? --

We have a gardening bill against
Lorenzo Burge, Lot no. 3670, for 1868,
amounting to $8.00 -- on which Mr B. (whom
I believe to be a gentleman, & would not
intentionally misstate) gives me this ex-
planation --

He paid $20. for deposit of body of his
son Lorenzo E. Burge in R.T. Feby 4, 1866
and on his removal to lot 3670, July 2 [18]66
he became entitled to a drawback of
$14.00 which has never been refunded.

When R.B.S. brought to him a gar-
dening bill in Dec. 1866 amounting to $11.00
Mr B. supposing this had no connection
with the interment matter in settlement
