Dear Mr. Allison: I have been laid up for more than a week or I should have acknowledged your note enclosing cheque for $23.05? before this? We received yr. letter in which you made the request that we should not send on the plans for estimating in Richmond until you had made the necessary settlement with a local Architect? We are getting two estimates for men here? I am not certain as to whether or not you have gone to Florida? With kindest regards believe me always Very sincerely your Percy Griffin James W. Allison Esqr. 24th Jany. '94. [ALS, Percy Griffin to James W. Allison, January 24, 1894, on letterhead: Griffin & Randall Architects 48 Exchange Place New York.] [edited by MTD]
