S.R. Payson Esq

Dear Sir

We have an order on our books to "Grade & Sod a lot" which you have purchased recently.

I learn that you are thinking of building a tomb, & therefore, would respectfully uniform you that, unless you prefer otherwise, it would be best to defer doing anything to the lot, until the tomb is finished.

I shall be glad to do whatever work you may wish done on the lot or tomb

Respectfully Yrs. J.W.Lovering

S.G. Deblois Esq.

Dear Sir

We have completed the alterations on Trinity Church Lot & also sodded it. The numbers I have been delayed about, but hope to get them cut soon.

Our By-laws require that every lot shall be fenced, or marked by boundary posts, and I shall be glad if you will authorize me to have boundary posts set. I have only square & octagonal topped posts. Should you wish to put up something more elaborate by the future, I will take the posts back & allow you something for them.

Respectfully J.W.Lovering
