Chas. G. Gibson, Esq., Boston.

Dear Sir:-

The headstone referred to in your note of Nov. 21st has been delivered, and I find that it needs a foundation. Your order is to place the stone at the foot of the grave, but we have no record as to which is the head or foot. I take it you wish the stone set at the end of grave nearest the path, but as a space appears to be left at the end furthest from the path for a stone, I will wait for definite instructions.

Respectfully yours,

Supt.

Dear Sir

It is decided to put up the new Greenhouse this fall.

As there was some doubt as to how much material there was on hand, I wish you would see how much there is, and give me a price which will complete the wood & iron work which may be necessary to erect a house similar to no 4 & 5. As well as the painting & mason work, I propose to furnish the glass & glaze the sashes myself, but shall want to have you furnish the sash. Please give me a new piece on this basis.

C. M^cArthur Esq Belmont
