Dear Sir

Mr Barker decides that
the stone is "fit to rise." The Cap after
being dressed off will project an inch
or a little more, the plan calling for 1 1/2 inches.

The marble we can provide for
best by raising it from the ground.,
and I think there is no danger of
any injury in that way.

Yours very truly
James W. Lovering

Messrs Knox & Angier

Dear Sirs

In sending you
a new list of "plain sunk" numbers
to be cut, I will request you to
furnish us with good, clear, figures
cut in a workmanlike manner,
and to return these slips to my
office marked finished with
your monthly bill or oftener

Yours respectfully
James W. Lovering

P.S. I notice you discount us only
5% against 10% last year. I suppose
you will expect the same discount
on work done by us for you.
