Dear Sir

In reference to the charge for myrtle on the enlosed bill, I have talked with the gardener who states that he did not get myrtle enough to do both graves from the one which was there already. He says that the labor & material furnished was as much as for a grave where all the myrtle is supplied, so that I do not see but what the charge is a fair one. If you do not feel satisfied about it, the Treasurer will make you such a discount on payment of the bill as will be satisfactory, as I prefer to make a loss on the work, & have the bill satisfactory.

Yrs very truly J.W. Lovering
