Messrs McDonnell & Sons.

Dr Sirs

I have seen the lot of octagon posts you have sent us & am sorry to find that they are pretty hard looking specimens, and do not compare favorably with your previous work here. I shall depend on your sending us something better, for the balance of the lot, or else I prefer you should send none. Please give this matter your attention, and oblige

Yours truly J.W. Lovering Supt

Dear Sir:

Your favor of the 28^th inst is at hand. If you will send the Number of the Lot referred to in the letter to me, I will send you an estimate in detail of what is needed to put the lot in proper order, from which you can order what you see fit.

very Respt'y James W Lovering By F.C.C.

Mr Eben B. Foster 35 Union St Boston.

Dear Sir

There has been no myrtle planted on the grave you speak of as we have received no order for the work. With this I send an order for the work which if you wish done please sign and return to this office.

Very Respectfully James W. Lovering per Childs.

Dear Sir:

In reply to your letter of the 6^th inst I will state that Lot #1558 Sorrel Path needs "grading" "sodding" and enriching with manure.

The marble needs cleaning and the Fence needs painting; at an expense of from $65⁰⁰ to $70⁰⁰

I should be pleased to receive your order for the necessary work.

Very Respectfully James W Lovering per Childs.
