Dear Madam
The gardener has looked at the ivy on your lot #3225 and says he does not think he can make it grow outside in the winter as they are not at all hardy. Yours Resp'y
J. W. Lovering Sup't. per F. A. B.
Dear Sir:-
The enclosed bill has been forwarded to me by our Treasurer with the request to send you an explanation as to the plants charged. These plants were ordered for this year only, by a lady who came here I think to inspect a monument, the order on file here was signed for you by Col A. A. Rand of Boston.
There is no order for topdressing, nor is it charged in this bill. Am I to understand your note as ordering it now?
Respectfully yours,
Supt.

Letter: J. E. Neale to J.W. Lovering, 1888 (page 2)
when the very severe weather came on, taken from the fence and leaves thrown over, and this plant from which the slip was taken grew on a wall & never protected in the winter.
I now feel that if the plant had been properly set out and cared for through the summer, it would now have been in better condition.
The loss of this same I most deeply regret, as associations, connected with it no monied value can replace
So it now is, I think the least that can be done, if it is dead in the spring, to allow the sod to be replaced.
Respectfully J.E. Neale
