satisfy your Committee in regard
to my skill & attainments as an
Architect - & may - & I hope _will_ have
a tendency to bias them in my
favor -

I regret exceedingly my
inability to meet them in Wednesday
next - the more so as there are many
points about my plans which I
feared might be overlooked without
a personal explanation - but as I
am persuaded each design will meet
with due consideration I feel perfectly
safe in your hands -

Allow me to remain

Gent.

Your {most} {Obedient} {Servant}
