Dear Sir

The items of

and sodding the lot	$35.00
Cutting the number	3.00
2 additional posts set	8.00

The estimate of $5 for setting posts was
made in answer to your letter of

present charge of $8 is for the posts
and the setting according to the
arrangement made with one foreman.

Hoping this explanation will be satis-
