Subject: Funds not sufficient- Donation

Lot No. 1

Grantville May 16^th 1879

J. W. Lovering Esq Mt. Auburn Cemetry,

Dear Sir, Yr's of 5^th inst was rec^d. in which you say the funds left for the Care of Lot N^o. 1 have not proved Sufficient to Keep the lot in good order. In this I feel that you are mistaken as ^$200 was left about 1850, the interest to be expended for this purpose - say ^$12 a year for 29 years or ^$348. Out of this nothing has ever been spent except for cutting the grass, as I have always paid for the flowers on my wife's grave.

It would not do to remove the fence to Lot no. 1 unless it were also removed from the adjoining lot of Abraham Fuller, and it will be necessary for me to communicate with the heirs of that lot ^ after ^^which I will endeavor to call upon you at the

Cemetery to consult as to the best method of arranging the Stonework if the fence is removed—

Very truly Yrs Dav^d. W. Cunningham.
