We do not understand what you mean by “comb grain pine carpet strips and furthermore we can not find them [th canceled] mentioned in the specifications. You had better use your own judgement in the matter. We do not use them (whatever they are by another name) in this part of the country. We have been hoping you would order the marble for the Bed Rm. facings, so that it could be sent on with the others. Mr. Randall leaves here Tuesday evening next for the South. He expects to reach Richmond Sunday evening or Monday morning. Your's truly, Griffin & Randall. [ALS, Griffin & Randall to James W.
