Mr. Tho.^s Niles

Dear Sir,

Your favor of yesterday is received.

I have as yet received no card ordering anything on your lot 3819 Yew Ave.

The card sent you the other day from my office was the only one from here sent this year. Perhaps some outside party has sent you a card. I enclose herewith a blank for your signature which I shall be pleased to get back filled out as you wish and will execute the work thereon ordered in a satisfactory manner.

Very Respectfully Jas. W. Lovering Sup.^t per Childs

Mr Tho^s Niles

Dear Sir

I have not received any order from you for care of lot 3819 Yew Av. but should be glad to have you give me such orders as may suit your wishes and will execute them in a satisfactory manner. Outside persons are I believe seeking to do work but it seems to me to be desirable that all work should be entrusted to the Corpⁿ so long as the results are satisfactory, as to quality of work and amount charged. Therefor

Very Respectfully J. W. Lovering Sup.^t per Childs

A. A. Barker Esq Sup^t of Interments

Dear Sir

Mr. M^cArthur will take charge of the general work in Cemetery on and after Feby 1^st.

I have notified him to allow S. W. Hutchings 1/2 a day for every Sunday morning he is at gate, and that G. E. S. Hutchings and Mulvy Wailes be your regular men & would be allowed all their time when present (cost per day) also that they would take their turn at being present on Sunday & could be [alieved?] for it.

In case you need a second man on Sundays I expect you to keep one, only I should prefer as Hutchings & Mulvey are among the highest paid, not to pick out the most expensive men if possible. This will give you two men on every wet day & one man on Sundays. Even if there has no notice been given of any funeral.

Yrs truly J. W. Lovering
