Dear Sir

We cannot afford to Top dress Lots 3256 & "57 for less than $2.50 each, neither would it be just to charge you a less price than others are paying. Do you wish us to do the work at the price named viz., $2.50 each?

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

Clement Jewett Esq. 19 W. 32d. St. New York.

Dear Sir

Immediately upon the receipt of your favor I visited your Lot #3651 and found that with the exception of the Myrtle Grave it was in excellent condition and looking as well as any of the neighboring Lots. As I have before said however, the 4 myrtle graves need repairing and it will cost $2.00 apiece to put them in good condition or $8.00 for the whole, do you wish us to do this for you?

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

Dear Sir,

Your favor of 16th inst. is rec'd. We cannot afford to Top dress Lots 3256 '7 for less than the price named viz., $6.00 If you have paid less than this, it must have been through a mistake, as our prices this year are no higher than for several seasons past.

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