Dear Sir:

There is now a large foundation in the center of your Lot #3360 and in putting in the new one that you ordered in the 25^th inst, the large one is in the way. The work has been stopped and we would like further instructions in the matter

Dear Sir

I have looked at lot #1204 as requested, and find we have an order for annual care only. The lot has been attended to as often as others during the summer, and is now in fair condition.

The trees shade the lot enough to hurt the sod somewhat, so that tho' it has been cut often enough it is only in fair order. The myrtle in the flower beds has only been saved by great care, & I cannot see but what the look looks very well. Certainly our part has been done. I cannot find that any complaint has ever been made here.

Respectfully J.W. Lovering Sup^t
