Mrs. Jane L. Stanford

Dear Madame,
I have posted yesterday by registered
parcel 2 coloured designs representing two different works
to be reproduced in mosaic over the entrance doors. I
have done so following Your whish [sic] to have two projects to
sellect [sic] from, but I have no any doubt You will select
the one made by Prof. Paoletti which express Your ideas -
explained by me in full & followed by me day by day
whilst Mr. Paoletti was designing it. It represent our
God father receiving Christ in Paradise. Our God father
having round Him the Prophets & other Saints - I^st Picture,
II^d Pictures. Our Lord in His throne. -having round Him
the 4 Evangelists & barred by the Apostles & Kings, whom are
adorating the King of the Kings. -

This work will cost You $4000.--
The second project which is much simpler & represent 2
femele [sic] figures singing the holy melodies of the Heaven.
This work will cost You $2000.--

I wish to say that
being the space rather low from the floor, we cannt'
possibly use the III^d category of mosaic, but the
heads must be of the first & the wests of the second cathegory [sic]
