Ms. Abby L. Faulkner West Roxbury

Dear Madam,

In placing Lots under the perpetual care of the Corporation provision is made only for what is then in the Lot, and the placing of Monuments, Myrtle Graves, and improvements of this kind on the ground greatly increases the cost of care to the Corporation. Under these circumstances, before you make any change, I would like to have you write me fully as to what you desire. The Corporation wish to afford every chance to Proprietors to beautify their Lots, but you will readily see that if the income of the deposit is only sufficient to keep the lot in its original repair it will not suffice to keep up any improvements.

Very respectfully James W. Lovering Supt. J.E.C.
