R. A. Ballon Esq

Dear Sir:

Your postal card
of yesterday is received and from
its contents I judge that you desire
us to build the Foundation and
unless I receive directions to the
contrary from you on or before Saturday
next, I shall give the necessary
orders to ensure the completion of
the Found by the following Wednesday

Very Respectfully

Jas W Lovering Supt

Mr Cha^s Merriam

Dear Sir

Your favor of
7^th inst was received in due time.

I think it would be safe to
defer the sodding &c of the Walker
lot until the middle of October.

We might be able to do it after
then, but should hardly think
it safe to wait later

Please notify me if the date
referred to will meet your
requirements

Very Respectfully

Jas W Lovering Supt
