#5839-S.

June 19th. 1889.

Dear Madam: -

Your note is received. I have had corner stakes put down on your lot in the location which seems to give the best effect from the corner of Crystal avenue and Jonquil path. The corner posts are level with the sod so that the actual lines for the lot do not determine the position of the monument as much as do the lines made by path and avenue. The slope of the land also modifies the position.

The enclosed sketch shows the location as now staked. Before building I think it would be well if some friend could come out to the Cemetery, and see the proposed location as it may strike others differently.

The cost of removing and resetting and leading the monument, building a new foundation, and changing the grade will be $115.00 (one hundred and fifteen dollars and seventy cents).

Respectfully yours,

J. W. Lovering Sup't. ^pr J.G.S
