Commercial Hotel

Woodend1 April 30 1873

Sir

I respectfully make application on behalf of the Trustees of the Woodend Cemetry for grant of shrubs for the Cemetry at Woodend and should you grant the request should feel obliged by your giving us 21 oaks and 6 English ashes and the remainder Petosporones2 & Lauristinus or whatever Evergreens you can spare best. I bought good many pines last year and think we shall not require any more pines or oaks and if you could give us about 200 Plants altogether encluding the oaks and ashes should feel obliged and will send the empty pots down from last year when sending down

Yours Respectfully

Joshua Coop

Chairman Trustees
