Dear Sir,
Mr Meyer has agreed to take your lot, with the fence, at the price named ^$400, & since he has so agreed, I have seen it, and (between you and me) must say, it is well sold.- The fence is quite rusty & the lot a good deal out of repair. Your name is cast into the gate, so that, I think he will have to have a new gate.
I write you now to have you sign and return to me the two orders for removal. I find two bodies there instead of one as you named, & they stand upon our record at the dates mentioned. Phoebe was 7 months old & Anna 6 weeks.
I shall have them both put into one box, say three feet long; unless you direct otherwise. When you write tell me how to send it to you.
Yours truly
Dear Madam, Yours of has come to hand. I was at Mt Auburn this morning, and noticed that the number of your lot is cut upon the marble monument. So that you will need only the four 8 inch boundary posts. I write this morning, lest you should be under a misapprehension as to the expense that may be incurred by a compliance with our rule. The whole cost to you of these four posts set will be but eight dollars $8.:- and we do not propose to put you to any other expense than what you may voluntarily incur.
If you wish the amount to remain until Spring, just say so,- we can set the posts and let the bill wait that long, if any particular accommodation.
The cost of cut the grass through the season is usually $3. or $5 if some plants are set in the border. - The Corporation cuts the grass on all lots not cared for at the expense of the proprs, about twice a year without charge, but this is not often enough to keep lots green. About once in ten years a lot wants new sodding, cost about $15 to $20, for manure, sod & work.
We have had your name in our records & on our last catalogue Eliza A. Bliss. A few days since a clerk of our [Mission?] told me it was Elizabeth. I don't know how this mistake came to be made. I see that you signed the affidavit which I prepared two or three years since without correcting it.
Yours resp.y

Dear Madam
Since you called at this office I have looked up the charges against lot 1375 and find they were as stated to you at the time viz
1871 | Top dressing lot | $3 |
---|---|---|
[1871] | 2 Maples | 5 |
1872 | Care of lot with plants | 8 |
[Total] | $16 |
I would be glad to have the matter settled up as by vote of the Trustees I am no allowed to do work on lots on which there are unpaid bills.
Very respectfully James W Lovering pr J.C.S. Supt
