Dear Sir:

In regard to that part of your letter of November 15^th 1873 which refers to the Levelling of the graves & sodding around Monument on Lot 636 Yarrow Pa Lemeul Pope prop^r; the Gardener reports that the sod of the lot is in a very bad state. Also that the cost of Levelling the graves &c will be ^$16⁰⁰

In my opinion it would be much better to resod the entire Lot early in the spring at a cost of about ^$50⁰⁰ than to expend 16⁰⁰ in patching which I am afraid would not result satisfactorily. Please communicate to me your opinion in the matter.

Yours truly

James W Lovering Supt
