Dear Sir,

Mr Henry Gassett yesterday paid the Treas^r the sum of $600. the am^t required by the Com. on Lots for the perpetual care of Lot no. 2113, Lime Av.^e I think the fund will yield enough for the bills of the present year, with judicious application of labor -- prob. not less than $25 up to 31^st Dec.^r -- perhaps more. --

I send you back the report. Mr Gassett says there is some small shrubbery in front, which he would like to have you state on the report, -- that was his understanding -- that our care covers his shrubbery. I think it is so trifling an item, that it should be included. Our printed contracts cover shrubbery. Please bring in the report tomorrow.

Resp.y yours

A.J. Coolidge
