J.W. Lovering Esqr.

Dear Sir

We have an appropriation of $25000 [$250.00? $2500.00?] to erect a gateway at the main entrance to our Cemetery

I have taken the liberty to write to you, sending some Photographic views, of the entrance as it now is, with a ground plan showing the approach both ways, also the distance of the chapel from the road, with a plan of the change I think of making

The Chapel is built of Westerly Gray granite. Any advice you could offer, I shall [desire?] it a favor to receive, as to which would look best and be most durable, an Arch or an open gateway there being
