Transcription

July 29th, ’95 My dear Mr. Allison, Since writing to you on the 27th in regard to my coming to Richmond about the end of this week, I find that I shall have to postpone doing so for a week or ten days, as I must be here to attend to a number of important matters. However I do not think it will delay the progress of any thing in connection with the finish of the house. As I wrote Mrs. Allison, if there are any of the papers which she likes for either Bed Rooms, or First Floor rooms that you feel are too expensive I can look at the other shops and see if the same or similar papers can be bought for less. Yours’ truly, T. Henry Randall. [ALS, T. Henry Randall to James W. Allison, July 29, 1895, on letterhead: T. Henry Randall Architect 52 Broadway. New York. Envelope docketed [image unavailable]: T.H.R. July 29, 1895. Must postpone coming to Richmond for a week or ten days. If papers sent are too expensive will look around for less expensive ones.] [edited by LJP]
