Joseph R. Richards Esq

Dr Sir

The order is received and in reply I would say that we can grade, sod lot & cut no for $125, furnishing you such corner posts as we keep a supply of -

I wrote you Today that the By-laws of the Corporation did not permit me to furnish any thing but the patterns we have otherwise of course I should be happy to assist you in any way I could. Please let me know about the posts.

Yours Truly James W. Lovering

We have only 8" and 10" square and 10" octogonal with flat top

Sam^l T. Snow Esq.

Dr Sir,

From all I can learn of Neal whom I spoke to you of a foreman of corporation lots I think it very doubtful if we can do better this year.

I thought I would let him take his orders for care direct from myself, only calling on the gardener to furnish the necessary number of plants, thus making it a separate department. Please let me know as soon as convenient your wishes in the matter

Yours respectfully James W. Lovering Supt
