Hon. F.O. Prince

Dear Sir

I enclose sketch showing the best lot I can make out of the three lots on Ivy Path. Owing to the irregularity of the ground it was necessary, in changing them into one lot to make some slight changes in the lines, which now include five hundred square feet, the price being as before $1100. You will see by the plan that there is room for ten brick catacombs.

I can sell you a lot of 300 square ft. on Agave Path in the rear of the Boarne tomb, which is large enough for ten catacombs, five across the back of the lot, and five across the front, leaving a space in the center for a monument or for one or two more burials for $850, or a larger lot on the same path of four hundred square feet with seven burials across the back of lot and seven across the front, with the same space between the burials as in the lot of 300 ft. The price of this lot would be $1100.

If this latter lot should not be large enough, I can arrange to give you more land. The arrangement of a 300 ft lot would be like this, and that of a four hundred ft. lot similar to it, but with seven graves across the back instead of five. Please let me know your decision soon as possible.
