If these sections could be built early next spring
or summer, the work would probably be better done.
After opening the windows in the present tomb a large
part of the moisture disappeared, there was still
however considerable left. After the tomb had been
ventilated in this way for several weeks, I visited
it in both dry & wet weather. In the dry weather
a considerable improvement was seen, but in wet
weather there was a large amount of water dripping
from the arch, particularly in the vestibule.

If only the catacombs could be built during the
present year, the tomb could be used, & with
no metal door or tiling, ought nor [sic - not] to be a very
expensive matter
