Sir: -

When the workmen made the opening for the addition to foundation in your lot it was found that considerably less was needed than had been estimated upon. The charge sent to Treasurer is only $5.00, there is therefore $10.00 to your credit.

Respectfully yours,

Supt.

Miss Emily B. Peck,

Dorchester.

Dear Madam:-

Your order to set two markers is received, but you do not say where they are to be set. Please give me the exact location in the lot, or if there is any doubt it would be well to show the location on the lot. The stone marked L. A. R. is I suppose to be placed at the grave of Mrs. Richards, and at the end furthest from the path. If that is correct we have the exact location of the grave and can set that without further instructions, but we do not know at which side of this you wish the other stone set.

Respectfully yours,

Supt.
