Griffin & Randall to James W. Allison, 1894 November 13 Nov. 13th. '94. James W. Allison Esq. Richmond. Va. Dear Sir, We have gone over the question of Interior Finish in your house with the Purdy people and have further reduced their estimates, which are now very much lower than Stowe & Nuckol’s. All this data we will have ready for you on Friday, when Mr. Randall expects to be in Richmond. He will breakfast with you, if convenient, that morning after the arrival of the train from here. Your's truly, Griffin & Randall. [ALS, Griffin & Randall to James W. Allison, November 13, 1894, on letterhead: Griffin & Randall Architects 52 Broadway. New York. Envelope docketed: —G. & R.
