E S Cross Esq

Care J E Howe & Co 76 Chauncy St Boston

Dear Sir:

Yours of the 8 inst is at hand. By
referring to your order of 1873 for care of Lot &c I find
you ordered care - ^$6 - plants ^$4.66. That is, you ordered
^$1.66 more of plants than the usual number, which were
placed in your lot ^#1557. When I sent you the order
for your signature for care & plants &c for 1874 I did
not make any mention of your usual number of
plants but of the usual number. The circular stated
the price for extra plants. We will place the same
number of plants as last year in your lot if you
desire as to do so, or carry out your wishes in any order
that you may give us. Hoping this will explain
the matter in a satisfactory manner

I remain Yours Truly

James W Lovering Supt.
