Burlington June 11 1858

Hon Geo P. Marsh

Dear Sir Will you be kind enough to step into Watsons Marble Shop & direct how to finish up the Tablets of Marble. I think now we shall want to set them as soon as Monday.

I saw Pomeroy last evening about the inscription how it shall read, after 1789.

Pomeroy wished to see you whether anything Should be said about his being buried beneath this monument.

Respectfully YoursIra P. Harrington
