Gentlemen:
A day or two ago met Mrs. Ida
M. Owen. who has done 80 much
valuable aud appreciated work in
connection with the above Gene
terry, and she Requested my assist
ance in building part of short
fence at the Cemetery, or asking
Mr.. u. 8, Farrar to do SO. l am
about to leave for New Orleans
and it is impossible for me person
ally to see to a matter of this kind
for that reason, and Mr.. Farrar is
so busy it is also very inconven-
lent for him. but I take great pleas.
ure In enclosing you check for
$500. which he thinks will be
about enough to pay for the de-
sired work, which I dare say should
be done as soon as convenient,
Mrs, Owen will explain the mat
ter to you fully. Please acknowl-
edge receipt.
My mind having been called to
the attention of the Cemetery,
| I venture, while on the subject,
to address you with regard to an
other point which l would have
mentioned before except for my
long absence from home, in Europe
and. elsewhere, chiefly owing to
bad health. to.wit: l have thought
for a long while that those gentle
men who are trustees of the Gem
terry, and who are kind enough to
take an active interest therein,
should 60 in person, singly or in a
body, as might be best, and care
fully look over the Cemetery lots
and grounds and agree at once on
the fair value of each lot, TAX
ing into consideration its loca-
ton and all other advantages and
disadvantages. and should then
have a meeting of your COM
mittee or board of trustees.
after groper and legal notice, when
if you approve my suggestion. you
should adopt resolution or order
making it utterly impossible for
any one whomsoeyer to put spade
In the ground or dig grave. or
make any changes or alterations or
dc any work within said Cemetery
grounds without your prior
WRITTEN consent. and without
PIRST paying you the full value
Of said lot as you may establish It,,
And would it not be we'll
for YOU to have regular
meetings every menth. Of at such
other times as your judgment sug-
gests, In order to take proper steps
in the interest of the Cemetery gen
orally from time to time hereafter!
am sure you know do not
mean to be officious. but that these
suggestions are made because of
my sentimental interest in the mat
ter.
Mrs, Scott and leave for New
Orleans tomorrow, and If I am not
killed in the battle of New Or
leans". I hope to have the pleas
ure of being back In Rosedale early
next month, when I will see you.
or any Of you, and discuss these
matters with you,
Meanwhile, I want 5ou to know
that at any time that / can ! Will
be xlad to render reasonable imam
cial aid In connection with your
useful labors. for which I am sure
you receive the gratitude OF the
