Boston, June ll, 1887.

Jas. W. Lovering Esq., Sup^t Mt. Auburn Cemetery:

Dear Sir:

The bearer, Martin Gallivan, whom you have discharged from the employ of the Corporation, is a very poor but I believe an honest man who has been unfortunate in not obtaining steady employment. The consequence is that his rent has run behind and now as soon as^hehas gone to work again his landlord or landlady has trusted

his wages. This is a thing he cannot help although it is very oppressive to him, and I propose, out of charity if nothing else, to protect him in this. I have already given him some things to help him and feel that it will be a great hardship and misfortune to him if you find it absolutely necessary to discharge him and not take him back simply because his wages have been trusted. If you can see your way clear to take him back I will undertake to protect the Corporation and save it from any expense by appearing for it as Trustee, and will see that its interest are taken care of.

Very truly

S.H. [De Wolfe?]

[left side margin] If you will send [him?] the writs as served [and?] you I will make a proper use of them in your interest. S.H.D.
