Dear Sir

Your letter of the 12 inst is received. We have obtained the estimates of two Stone workers, who give the following estimates viz: R. Sands of Mt. Auburn estimates the cost of a new stone to exactly replace the old one at $80.00 and the cost of redowelling the other two at $5.00 each.

Alex^r McDonald same Post office, estimates the cost of a new stone @ $100.00 & redowelling the others at $5.00 each in connection with the new stone or $8.00 each if the new stone is not put up. I would suggest that any further communications be addressed to either of these parties as the Corporation does no work of the kind.

Very Respectfully James W Lovering Supt. per Childs.

These parties also report, that it is impossible to mend the broken stone
