Oct. 30, 1888.

Francis B. Jones, Esq., Boston.

Dear Sir -

The Reed lot #2004 of which the late Josiah M. Jones was representative has its care provided for by a donation of $100.00, but the income from this is not enough to keep all in good order. The fence is in need of painting, can you tell me if the heirs would be willing to pay for this. It would improve the lot and avoid this expense if they would consent to the removal of the fence and all the posts but four recutting these and cutting the number of the lot on one of them. This work can be done for the old material.

Respectfully yours,

Supt.

Capt. Winsor,

Sir:

Mr Josiah M. Jones, who is the Ex^or of Mrs Otis Fairbanks, (just deceased) representative of lot 659, Greenbrier -- wishes to know how much needs to be done to the lot to put it in order, & what it will cost. Mrs F. three years ago gave the Corporation $100 to keep the lot in order. She has left in her will $200 more. Mr Jones says the lot looks badly -- I told him, if a lot was in bad order the income of $100 would not help it, & it was probably not in good order 3 years ago.

Perhaps it will be well for you to report on both at same time -- cost of present repair -- cost of perpetual repair

Resp.y yours

A. J. Coolidge
