George M. Doe Esq

Dear Sir

Your favor of the
15^th inst received and in reply
I would say that your postal order
was received and that the usual
orders were given our gardener. The
lot has had to date the usual
care with the exception of plants,
the grass having been cut as often
as on the other lots.

It has been Mrs Doe's custom to
select her plants herself & she
was always particular to do so, &
as nothing was said to the contrary
the gardener supposed she would
do so this year. I have directed
him to put in the plants as nearly
like what are usually supplied
as possible & would say that in
doing as the did, he believed he
was doing what was desired.

Your very truly
J.W. Lovering
Supt.
