Mr. R.K. Carpenter

Dear Sir

Your letter of Aug. 28, in reference
to lot #2051 Trull is received; herewith is the exact ^amount^ of Labor
and material used

17 1/2	days	labor gardening & sodding	@	$2.00 =	$35.00
1 [1/2]	loads	loam	[@]	0.75	7.50
2	[loads]	manure	[@]	3.00	6.00
920	sq. feet	sod	[@]	[3.05?]	27.60

You will notioce that the item "labor & sods" are heavy and
compose the major part of the charge; the lot was so far
from the avenue on the path that the stone had to be conveyed
by hand quite a distance to the damage of some adjacent
lots which of course had to be repaired. The repair to
the injured lots amount in round numbers to 30.00 which
leaves only 46.00 expended on the ground of lot 2051.

I saw the work in progress and know that for
the work specified the above was used while as this was done in hot
weather considerate expense was incurred for watering for which
no charge is made.

Very Respectfully

J W Lovering Sup^t^.
