The light in the middle room is so
bad that it might be well to disregard that
coming in at the windows, except in the
arrangement of the cases in or near the
bow in that end of the room and for the
rest of the room have provision made for
the proper light by putting in electric
lights in the proper places. In that end of
the room which is nearest & the
office the light must be very bad whatever
the case arrangement may be.

In the office it might be advisable to
have a desk light, an electric drop light
by which we can work here at night. As
for ventilation you suggested a fan in the
window, I believe.

Miss Paul wishes to charge me 12 1/2 [cents]
per letter. This is too high. I do not think it
would pay to have her write letters at that
rate. I told her I would pay that for the
letters she has written but that I could
not afford to have more written at that rate.

During your meeting I will be in the
reference room of the library, where I will be
pleased to have you send for me should you
desire my presence.

Faithfully yours
