Description
Letter from T. Henry Randall to James W. Allison apologizing for letter of the 4th and offering services.
Transcription
June 9th ’96. My dear Mr. Allison, I was just leaving town for a few days when your letter and its enclosure arrived, and I had only time enough to mail the receipted bill to you without any further acknowledgement. Now upon my return I find your second letter of the 6th which makes me regret all the more that I did not "content my soul with patience" and avoid giving you this unnecessary trouble. I say "unnecessary", for if I had been more farseeing I would not have found myself in such an awkward position. I am extremely indebted to you for your kindness and consideration; and I can only hope that I can be of service to you again in whatever capacity the occasion requires. Your's very sincerely, T. Henry Randall. [ALS, T. Henry Randall to James W. Allison, June 9, 1896, on letterhead: T. Henry Randall, Architect 52 Broadway. New York. Envelope docketed [image unavailable] T.H.R. June 9, 1896— Apologizing for letter of 4th and tendering services.] [edited by WDC]
