1845-02-28 Bigelow Chapel Stained Glass: David Ramsay Hay to Jacob Bigelow (page 2)

it be expected that manufacturers of painted glass
such as you describe those in your neighbourhood
to be, will be qualified to execute the work from
the drawing that will be sent you. I know that
my friends here will furnish you with the windows
at the lowest remunerating rate, and in the event
of your employing them, I am convinced that these
productions will prove equally creditable to your taste
and their abilities.

Should anything, more in my own line, be re-
quired, such as, scrolls for the walls with illuminated
mottos, which I generally do in oil painting and
gilding upon a cloth or paper medium, and
which can be easily and permanently fixed to
the wall with white lead by any common painters,
I shall be most happy to supply them.

Trusting the sketches which follow this will meet
your approval, and apologizing for the delay which
has occurred between your letter and my reply

I remain,

Sir,

Your Obliged and most
obedt Servt_

D.R. Hay
