===99=== Septr 3 [18]81 [[Bacon, Sarah Ann|Mrs John H. Bacon.]] [[Winchester, MA|Winchester Mass.]] Dear Madam In regard to your inquiry as to the cost of placing a granite front on [[Lot 515|tomb #515]] similar to that on the left of it I estimate that the stone work and setting will cost $350 - We can set the work but the stone will have to be supplied by some outside stonecutter who will perhaps give you a closer estimate. The addition of the granite will increase the cost of perpetual care at least $100 - Very respectfully [[Lovering, James W.|James W Lovering]] [[Scorgie, James C.|pr J.C.S.]] Supt
