Dear Sir

I think that the hemlock tree on the corner of the Wyman lot next to yours would have to be removed to do much good.

I think I wrote you before that in my opinion the drip from the vines did quite as much harm as the tree, but tho' you wrote me I might trim them considerably. I thought when the vines were out more, it could be better seen how much harm they did.

Perhaps your best way could be to have the gardener go to a lot with you & trim while you were set what would be better removed or if you leave it to us, I will have it attended to as judisciously as possible

Yrs truly J.W. Lovering Supt.
