Dear Sir

Your note of the 9^th inst is at hand. The
price for a lot of 300 ft. is ^$5.00 for care, without plants. If your
two Lots viz: 3628 & 3629 were charged in the same proportion
the cost would be ^$9⁰⁰ and ^$10⁰⁰ respectively. We will however
take care & furnish plants for the same price as last & of
the same quality. The care of the lot consists in
cutting grass, keeping the sod clean, raking up leaves
&c and in every dry seasons like the summer of 1873
the item of watering both, often exceeds the charge for the
care of same. Then the flower beds have to receive a certain
amt of attention and the myrtle if any to be properly
covered for the winter

On ^the circular you hold you can make the
price same as last year and forward

Yours Sincerely

James W Lovering Supt
