Dear Madam

The snow
has now so far disappeared as to
enable me to see what could
be added to your lot. I find
that a strip 7 feet deep could be
added on the back, which would
allow of one more row of burials
across the lot, and that land
enough could be added on the
North side (say a strip 2¹/2 feet wide
to make three additional burials).

In order to do this, it will be necessary
to remove the fence and leave four
granite posts at the corners, and the
grade of the lot would have to be
lowered somewhat, but the graves
now in the lot need not be disturbed.

The expense of the addition and of
putting the lot in order, that is
removing the fence, leaving a good
granite post at each corner, regrading
the lot & sodding, would be two
hundred and fifty dollars, and you
would be able to make at least
eight more burials in the lot.

Yrs very truly
J.W. Lovering
