Dear Madam: -

In regard to the sodding of the grave about which you called, I find that it was properly resodded at the time you made your last complaint. I have independent reports from Mr. McArthur and Mr. Moltman that the sod was in good order then and is so now.

Respectfully yours,

I have looked into the matter of the work for which the enclosed bill was sent you, and think that from the nature of the work and the time needed the charge is a reasonable one.

Dear Madam

In regard to your inquiry as to the cost of placing a granite front on tomb #515 similar to that on the left of it I estimate that the stone work and setting will cost $350 - We can set the work but the stone will have to be supplied by some outside stonecutter who will perhaps give you a closer estimate.

The addition of the granite will increase the cost of perpetual care at least $100 -

Very respectfully James W Lovering pr J.C.S. Supt
