Lewis Jones and Son Dear Sirs:

The stone for the Eastburn Lot 1898 has been delivered and I find on looking at it that several small pieces have been chipped from the base. My men did not unload it. The money to be paid to the person delivering it has not yet been called for and I thought under the circumstances you might not wish it to be paid.

Yours Resp'y J. W. Lovering Sup't. per F. A. B.
