Mr. R. H. Mason

Dear Sir

Your letter of 28 ult. to the Treas^r was sent to me.

By an oversight of a workman the gate was not repaired so it would shut.

I am sorry that this so happened. The gate has been righted and I trust the lots may be satisfactory upon the next inspection.

Very Respectfully

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

Geo. W. Bigelow, Esq.

Lot #4142

Dear Sir

Your favor of July 5^th is received. I am very sorry to say that the card order which you mailed never reached this office otherwise the lot would have received the attention ordered.

I have directed our gardener to take care of the lot for the balance of the season is 1/2 season at a cost of $2.00, and to put in plants as in 1875 at a cost of $3.00 -- which I trust will be satisfactory. I enclose postal card order which by signing at the bottom will continiue in force each year until forbid thus preventing the recurrence of a similar mistake to that of 1875.

Very Respectfully

J.W. Lovering Sup^t per Childs
