C.B. Goodrich, Esq., Boston.

Dear Sir:-

I have looked up the matter of the enclosed bill, and think we have done what was understood you wanted, and charged a proper price for the work. I do not therefor feel justified in making any abatement. I do not care to leave the matter standing, and if you are not satisfied with the bill, I would rather have you pay what you consider just, and so end the question.

Respectfully yours,

Supt.

L. G. Farmer, Esq., Secretary.

Dear Sir: -

Lot #362-Eddy is reported Corp. in trust (by will) . What are the restrictions as to interments?

Mr. J. W. Coverly thinks that lot #2974 has been regularly transferred to Mrs. Annie M. Coverly, but on our catalogue it stands in the name of Heirs of Charles H. Coverly. Is this correct?

Respectfully yours,

Supt.
