W. S. Carter, Esq., Eliot St., Jamaica Plain.

Dear Sir: -

The fence on the Smith lot #523 is broken, and needs to be painted. To repair it would cost $2.00, and to paint it $6.00. The lot would be improved by removing the fence altogether.

Respectfully yours,

Supt.

Dec. 10, 1888.

Mrs. Mary L Pierpont Crosby Jamaica Plain.

Dear Madam:-

Your note is received. After the headstones are set I do not think there is anything to prevent the Corporation assuming the perpetual care of the lot whenever you are prepared to exicute^execute the contract. The arrangement appears to be as good as the situation will permit.

Respectfully yours,

Supt.

#1000-S

Jan. 18, 1889.

Mrs. H.M.H. Currier, Jamaica Plain.

Dear Madam:-

In regard to the enclosed bill, you will remember that in my conversation with you last Summer I said that the myrtle removed from your lot was old and not such as I cared to buy. I have since consulted with the gardener, and find that it is without any any value to us.

The charge for the work was clearly agreed upon. In one case it was to be $37.00 and the old myrtle, in the other $3.00 the myrtle to be at your disposal if called for in the Fall. The myrtle is at your disposal now, but we cannot agree to keep it beyond May 1st, as our room is very limited.

Respectfully yours,

Supt.
