Oct. 2, 1888

Bowker, Torrey & Co., Boston.

Dear Sirs:-

Enclosed I send you the tracing referred to in my note of this morning. There are two stones in the lot, the central monument and a headstone marked Josiah Fiske Aged 2 Yrs. 9 Mos.

Mr. McArthur saw the lady in regard to the foundations on the Sargent Lot #3266, but she did not give an order.

Respectfully yours,

Supt.

Oct. 3, 1888.

Alexander McDonald & Son, Cambridge.

Dear Sirs: -

No order has been received at this office for setting the headstone on lot #4534. An order, which appears to have come through your firm, for the foundation only, has been received and completed.

The tablet on the Prescott lot was set in two separate jobs, in accordance with your request, the base on May 29th and the balance last month, and hence the charge $2.20 is larger than if set at one time. The Prescott headstone must have been washed since you have seen it, as it now appears to be perfectly clean.

Respectufully yours,
