Miss Kate L. Towle Exeter, N. H.

Dear Madam: -

Your note is received. Unless the grave border is removed before freezing weather the removal of the remains cannot probably be made without breaking the border. I enclosed the order needed for the removal which please sign and return to me. Besides this you will have to get from the Board of Health of the town of Watertown a permit to disinter and remove the remains.

The charge for removal and box will be $10.00 which is payable in advance. This charge does not include any work on the border or monument.

I notice that there is an unpaid bill for work done on the lot amounting to $10.00, and as the Trustees do not permit me to do work on lots where there are unpaid bills, this matter must first be attended to.

Respectfully yours,

Supt.
