Dear Madam

The tree in the rear of your lot can be trimmed so that I think you will have no more trouble, and I will have this done before long.

It will be better for the tree to wait a few weeks before it is done.

It would hardly be right for us to remove the tree with out the consent of the proprietor in whose border it stands, unless it was a source of very great annoyance, and after the branches are trimmed, if you do not feel satisfied, please confer with him.

Yours very truly

J. W. Lovering
