Description
Letter from T. Henry Randall to James W. Allison regarding "leaded" sashes.
Transcription
Aug. 5th ’95. James W. Allison Esq. Richmond. Va. Dear Sir, Your’s of the 31st of July received. It was forwarded from Baltimore. I do not understand how Peters could have entirely forgotten what I said to him about the “leaded” sash. They are all to be given one coat of red lead and as many coats of white as they require. The side-lights with smaller panes would probably look best inside, but it really makes very little difference. I am not sure that I forwarded Batterson, Lee & Eisele’s bill to you, so I enclose duplicate. Also Boote’s bill. Your’s truly, T. Henry Randall. [ALS, T. Henry Randall to James W. Allison, August 5, 1895, on letterhead: T. Henry Randall Architect 52 Broadway. New York.] [edited by VR]
