Dear Madam

Your note with
reference to lot #1943 has been received
and shall have prompt attention.

The graves in the rear of the lot
have settled very considerably and
of course the myrtle has settled with
them. This generally occurs after a time
unless the burials are made in brick
vaults, and the only way to do will be
to take up all the myrtle & fill in
considerable earth & then replant
the myrtle. As the myrtle will not look
as well after replanting, until it
has had time to make some new
growth. I would like to hear form
you before doing anything, as you
may prefer not to have this done
at present.

One of the headstones has settled
too, and should be reset. There does
not appear to be any foundations
under it.

The whole cost of raising the lot
in the back, & resetting the myrtle &
raising the headstone & putting a foun-
dation under it would be $10.⁰⁰
It may be that a foundation will
not be needed, which would reduce
the expense some four dollars, but this
can be seen better when the stone is
reset. This work can be done next week
if you will advise us promptly.

Yrs very truly
J.W. Lovering
Supt
