SHEPLEY, RUTAN & COOLIDGE,
ARCHITECTS

the most expensive kind. I believe he men-
tioned Honduras as his choice.

Please have a line of gas pipe run around
the top of the book shelves so it will be possible
to make connections for brackets whenever
choose, coming out through the cornice of bookcase.
The glass in the doors of bookcases should be
thin plate glass.

Also put gas pipe in the center of library and
dining-room ceilings so that a chandelier can
be put there if necessary. these should be in
the center of center panel. The gas lights in
the hall should be opposite the gas lights
in the respective rooms, that is in the center
of the panel on either side of the folding doors.

In regard to the mouldings in the finish of
the residence will you impress on Mr. Brown
the necessity of making the knives as nearly as
possible like those shown on the full size draw-
ings as they have been very carefully studied and
that is all we have to keep the work from look-
ing commonplace.

All the woodwork in library, hall and dining-room
is to be finished in the following manner:--

One coat of oil, one coat of filler well rubbed in,
one coat of shellac, and three coats of the best
furniture varnish, to be rubbed down with
pulverized pumice stone and hair cloth after each
coat."

Yours Resp'y,

W.A. Rodman
