Thomas B. Winchester Esq
Boston

Dear Sir

In answer to your inquiries as to the
work done on the Winchester tomb would say that the
charge was made up of the following items viz

Cleaning white washing & painting tomb	$9.00
Repairing lock	3.00
Repairing step of tomb door	8.00
Repairing jamb of tomb door	25-00

The three first named items were ordered by Mrs Winchester
but an examination before the work was begun showed
the jamb was badly split. Mrs Winchester was written
to the price for repairs ($25.) being given and an answer
received to go on with the work.

The painting etc ($9.) and repairing lock ($3) were done
by the Corporation servants. The repairs to step and
door jamb ($33.) were done and charged as given by our
outside stonecutter. All the Corporation did in the matter was to have the
foreman procure an estimate and see the work properly done
There was also a charge of $5. made for annual care of lot.

Very respectfully
James W Lovering
