Geranium Path -- nos 1228, 1232. He says Mr Barker went with him & measured the lots in regard to sodding, & that he admitted he was charged for too many feet of sod in 1400 feet -- The bill is 67.45, & he is ready to pay it.

W^m G. Wise prop^r of lot no. 620 replies to my demand of payment of bill of $75.00 that he has written you that there was something to be done & covered by the $75.00 which is not included within the bill, & that he is only waiting to know that the same is done to settle his bill. --

I also send you a bill against me, which if I understand, is contrary even to the bad precedent which we have in cases of 2^d interment in same grave. -- If I owe for a 2^d int. I should not be charged with $20. for the 1^st. If for the 1^st, as there was but one opening of the grave, I should not be charged for the 2^d--

Please report upon lot no 3768 -- Mary Ann Scott for perpetual repair. She has paid her bill today.

Respectfully yours

Dear Sir

I have examined your lot #620 and find that the fence can be removed 4 corner posts cut down and number of lot cut on one of them & the other post holes filled up and the headstones plumbed for the old material. If the lot is put under perpetual care the sod will have to be repaired at an expense of not less than $35 -

You will receive the estimate for perpetual care in a few days.

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