Dear Sir

As I understand you have charge of the estate of the late H.P. Farnham. I wish to call your attention to the condition of the family tomb in this cemetery. The door fell down and is now so that any one who chooses can go inside and the tomb is otherwise badly in need of repair. To reset the stone secure with clamps, relead and clean stone and repair door will cost $47. To repair the door alone will cost $5.

Very respectfully James W Lovering pr J.C.S. Supt
