Dear Sir

Your note is received
An examination of the ground shows
the sketch you send to be correct. By our
records Joseph & Persis Hill are buried
in your lot but this is probably a mistake

Two additional rows of brick graves
could probably be built but I do not
think there is room for more than
8 in a row. Brick graves for future
use cost ^$18-- each

Two interments can be made
in one grave provided the upper
one is 3 ft below surface.

I doubt if the graves now there
are deep enough to permit inter-
ments being over them

Very respectfully

[in pencil]
It would not be well to build
the brick graves until fall
working there ^^{in the hot weather} would kill
the grass so that the lot would
require resodding.
