A.A. Barker Esq

I have notified Mr. M^cArthur that we will not allow the Mont. to be set in lot 2836, having been directed by Mrs. M.P. Curtis to stop all proceedings until further orders.

In case the parties should come to set the Mont. at any time, in the absence of Mr. M^cArthur and the fact should come to your knowledge will you please take such action as will secure the desired effect.

I want the man who expects to do the work to be properly notified of this.

You will take such action in accordance with the above, as will prevent its being set, by notifying whoever appears to do the work, of the facts in the case and by directing them to cease any & all work until further notice.

Mr. H.B. Mackintosh Treas.^r

Dear Sir

The heirs of Tho.^s Marshall have today decided to take lot 4433 on Clethra Pa. the Certificate of which is in their possession. This lot was sold them and then afterward the sale was thrown up, they intending to take half of Lot 2836, but another change of mind has left them with a wish to pay for 4433 so you may expect a call from them for that purpose.

Respectfully F.C. Childs for Sup.^t

H.H. Brown Esq 4 Commonwealth A.

Dear Sir

No order has been received for the care of lot 787 Cypress Ave for 1876.

This I presume is due to an oversight in blank for such direction as you may deem proper.

I have directed that the sod - about the mont. be repaired and that the graves be changed as per your verbal directions. I have added this to the order as I am under instructions from the Trustees to do no work for Proprietors, or others without written directions, in order to prevent misunderstanding.

Very Respectfully J.W. Lovering Sup.^t per Childs.
