Dear Sir

I have your favor of Nov. 17. and will have the grave cut as requested during 1874.

The matter of perpetual care is in the hands of our Trustees. They will receive any sum & contract to spend the income thereof on the lot, or for a fixed sum they will agree to keep the lot in perpetual repair forever. To do the latter it would I think require more than you wish to deposit - Should you feel inclined to make a deposit of $100, the entire income to be expended. Please communicate with Mr S. Batchelder Jr. Sec'y at
