Sam.^l Batchelder Jr. Esq Secy.&c.

Dear Sir

I have your favor of June 9^th in regards to photographs by M^r Black.

As I understand, the person who represents M^r Black wants not only the lots & places of interest but the addresses of the proprietors. I think it was the sense of the Trustees when I first came here that I should not furnish any addresses to any persons who desired to do any work in the Cemetery, and although I at first gave the agents some encouragement I do not, on thinking the matter over, feel at liberty to furnish any addresses.

Any assistance that I can give M^r Black which it is proper I should do, I shall give with pelasure. As I have received no letters from him, I have sent him none, leaving you as you know him, to make such explanation as you think best. If you think it is worth while you can consult the Pre.^t

Yrs truly J.W. Lovering
