18 Nov. '93. James W. Allison Esqr. Dear Sir: We have received yr. letter of yesterday enclosing scheme "3" & shall lay out the plans including your suggestions— so far as possible—Kindly inform us by return mail whether or not you intend using the 3rd floor rooms for guests & if a concealed staircase from 2nd to 3rd floor will answer yr. purpose— It will probably work in better that way— but we want to know how you feel about it. Very truly Griffin & Randall. [ALS, Griffin & Randall to James W. Allison, November 18, 1893. Envelope docketed: Griffin & Randall Nov. 18, 1893. Staircase to 3rd Story.] [edited by JTK]
