Dear Sir

There is a lot next East of Lot #4343 and in the rear of lot #4370 Vernonia path which is 10 x 8 or rather can be divided to make a lot of that size which I will sell you for one hundred and seventy five dollarsThis includes the corner posts & numbers and also a good sod and there will be no annual charge for keeping the grass in order. This would be large enough for four interments and is quite near to the gate.

Yrs truly J.W. Lovering
