Arthur Brown, Esq.

Dear Sir:--

We had intended to divide the third floor
by trussed girders into three equal parts same
as on the second floor and then the 2"x12"
joists would be amply strong. There is no objec-
tion, however, to making the joists 2"x14" in-
stead, and keeping the layout as you had
arranged it. Perhaps the latter would be
better as we do not want to have any beams
showing in ceiling of second story.

Will you please have copies of 3/4" scale
details sent down as soon as convenient?

Yours Resp'y,

W.A. Rodman
