Arthur P. Vinal, Esq.,

Somerville, Mass.

Dear Sir: -

Your note is received. I regret the delay in forwarding the estimate. The cost of removing the myrtle and sodding over the 17 myrtle graves will be two dollars a grave. The cost of regrading and sodding the flower borders on three sides of the lot will be fifty dollars ($50.00). I find on examining the lot that it is full of weeds which nothing short of regrading will remove and as the expense of regrading the whole enclosure, enriching and sowing with grass seed will only be eighty five dollars ($85.00). I would suggest that this be done in place of the partial repairs to the sod. There is rather too much shade near these lots and I think the tree on the left hand rear corner might with advantage come away.

There are some six (6) or seven (7) granite posts not needed to define the boundaries of the lot and its appearance would be much improved by their removal.

Respectfully yours,

Sup't.

Mrs. M.H. Kelly,

Cambridge, Mass.

Dear Madam: -

The cost of regrading, enriching and sowing with grass seed both the Hanson and Hazelton lot will be sixty dollars ($60.00) provided the part of the fence now there is first removed.

The stones on these lots need cleaning which will cost seven dollars and fifty cents ($7.50).

I think the beech tree might be trimmed a little without hurting it.

Respectfully yours,

JW Lovering Sup't.

Enclose I send you bill for foundations in Mr. Warner's lot. The location for the double stone should be given exactly and if possible on the lot, as the interment of Mrs. Warner will have to be made in the grave with another or out of line with that of Mr. Warner.
