Dear Sir

To lower the posts to show
6 inches less (or more if you desire)
and to take out the step and
recut the front and make it
thinner so as to conform as
nearly as possible to the grade
of sod will cost $20 not including
the number. To cut the number
in raised letters as new would
cost $6, but it could be cut for
$3 or less if cut in sunk letters as
on the lot opposite which you looked
at.

This includes the replacing of the sod
around the posts & steps which I
will keep in order for a year
provided you give us the care
of the lot for 1882 at the usual
rates.

I think there is no question
that this is the best way to
fix the lot. A change of grade
would be bad beside which
it would cost more.

Yrs truly
J.W. Lovering.
