Miss Caroline Tewksbury Lynn, Mass.

Dear Madam

Your postal card received ordering myrtle planted in your lot #887. I think it best to explain to you that myrtle is planted in perpetual care lots only under perpetual care. That is if a myrtle grave is ordered in an ordinary lot the charge is $7 for planting the myrtle and caring for it one year but if the lot is under perpetual care (as yours is) $17 is the charge and for that sum the corporation keeps the myrtle on grave in good condition for ever. The charge for the two graves would therefore be $34.

Very respectfully James W Lovering pr J.C.S. Supt
