Dear Sir: 
I take pleasure in replying to your letter of October 21st, in reference to the Chapel that you persuaded me to 
build in Graceland Park Cemetery. The growth of Graceland has been phenomenal. As you know , we are four years 
old. Our sales in that time have gone over $200,000, and there are twelve hundred interments in our cemetery. 
Most of these sales and interments have been made since we built the chapel, two years ago this month. I 'want 
to thank you, Mr. Field, for persuading me to build this chapel. It nt once turned our cemetery from a graveyard 
into a most beautiful burial park. 
It zuas an incentive to the lot owners to put up better monuments. It was an incentive to me to make Graceland 
more beautiful in the way of ornamentation. It zvas an incentive to me to try and make Graceland match our beauti- 
ful chapel, but I freely confess to you that no grounds could be made so beautiful that they would be in keeping with 
the chapel that you built for me. 
I attribute the success that has been made in Graceland entirely to our chapel, and if I zvere going to put in other 
cemeteries, the first thing that I would do would be to arrange with you about putting chapels in them. If more 
chapels zvere erected in the cemeteries of this country it would be the means of not only increasing their sales, but it 
zvould be the means of more pride being taken in said cemeteries and zvould make a better condition all around. 
The chapel is as beautiful and perfect as the day it zvas built and it continues to grow on this community. 
I want to thank you again for persuading me to put it into Graceland. With my kindest personal regards, I am, 
Yours respectf ully, 
A. M. JACKSON , Managing Trustee.
