Dear Sir

In answer to your
note, would say that the Tillson lot
is #2972 and that the grade is 19
inches above the avenue. From the line
of the lot to the avenue is 6 ft 8 inches
and the buttresses or end posts, should
not project beyond this. The corner post of
the lot can of course, as usual, set
12 inches outside of lot lines.

To take up the posts now on lots
would cost $6.⁰⁰ and to set corner
posts & entrance like the Holt lot $30.⁰⁰
No sodding is included in the estimate
as the lot will I think to look
really well require resodding after
the stone work is complete.

I wrote you about Donner's lot
some time ago. The distance from the
lot line to the avenue line is 6'-6"- and
at the center of the lot there is only 6 inches
rise above avenue. There is a side slope
on the lot from right to left as you face
the lot of 12 inches.

Yrs very truly
J.W. Lovering
