Dear Sir

I find the number can be taken off the gate without much trouble. The best way to fix the monuments will be to sink a panel in the marble to take out the present wrong number, and to cut the proper number in the base of monument. This can be done for from $3 to $5. If you wish me to fix it in this way please let me hear from you & if not, let me know how you want it altered.

Yours truly J.W. Lovering Sup^t

Dear Sir

Your favor of the [?] inst rec'd.

The charge for 1874 for care & plants will be the same as for 1873 viz $5. & top dressing will be $1.50 extra same as this year

I am sorry that your lot was not taken care of in a satisfactory manner. I will call the gardener's attention to it & hope it may [?] next season. If you will drop me a line any time when you do not find me, it will be promptly attended to

Respectfully J.W. Lovering Sup^t
