R.K. Carpenter Esq West Medford Mass.

Dear Sir,

On Mr. Rayner's lot the curbing falls 2 1/4 inches to the foot on the 9 and 12 foot sides. If Mr. Rayner proposes to put in any steps with the curb on anything but the simple curbing, I would like to know about his plan before the stone is got out.

Respectfully James W. Lovering Supt. J.E.C.

Dear Sir,

On the 5th of [July?] we rendered you a bill amtg. to $107.31 which included the care of your lot for the season of 1872 without plants. We are today informed by an outside gardener that he has the care of your lot, please write us if this is so, and also if you wish us to discontinue the care of your lot. We shall continue our care unless advised to the contrary by you and we should be pleased to have the care of your lot for 1874 upon the usual terms.

Respectfully James W. Lovering Supt. J.E.C.

Dear Sir

I have examined the Dana lot #269 and find that to remove the tomb, bury the bodies in a brick vault in the lot, grade and sod leaving all in good order will cost $54 and the old material. If the bodies are buried in the earth $24 less

Very respectfully J W Lovering pr J.C.S. Supt
