Transcription

Dec. 19th '94 James W. Allison Esq. Richmond. Va. Dear Sir, I have been looking for you this week, and hoping that you would be able to carry out your purpose and come on to the city. I am anxious to have the finish for your Dining Rm. and Library settled at once. Stowe & Nuckols have not yet sent the 3/4" scale of Library finish. Will you send on your copy. I think the hot air ducts to the floor above can be moved to advantage. I expect to be in Richmond during Xmas week. If I do not see you before then, accept my very warm wishes for your "Merry Xmas." Your's truly, T. Henry Randall. [ALS, T. Henry Randall to James W.

Envelope docketed: G&R Decm. 19.1894 — Anxious to have D.R. Finish settled. Hot air ducts in Library to room above can be moved to advantage. Expect to be in Richmond during Xmas week.] [edited by AA]
