Letter

Typewritten letter on Pingree Company stationery from John B. Howarth to Frances A. Pingree, dated December 8, 1903 concerning two matters of Mrs. Pingree's personal fiances--her dealing with the Harrison Granite Company for the construction of her mausoleum, and the insurance on her property. The letter reads:

Dec. 8, 1903.

Mrs. H. S. Pingree,
1020 Woodward Avenue,
Detroit.

Dear Mrs. Pingree:
I am returning the letter from Harrison Granite Co. with their statement enclosed, together with copy of our reply. You will find enclosed your bank-book and a few blank checks.
The insurance on your property is distributed as follows: $30,000 on the house; $3,000 on the barn; $35,000 on contents of house; $2,500 on contents of barn. Total $ 70,500. If you would like these amounts changed please let me know. It strikes me that the insurance is ample. The rate is $4.65 per $1,000 for three years.

Sincerely yours, John B. Howarth
