Correspondence, 1912-1913: Design and construction

Letter from George Grant Elmslie to William Gray Purcell (December 17, 1913)

Dear office,

The enclosed stencils clean up the items.

Don't know where I put the size of the screen for the chimney-- You gave it to me personally-- Darn me anyway. Can't Miss Parker track out these curves. They art fairly true. She knows enough of the "follow through" and it is mostly plain as it should be, with a cusped square here and there. I want to see it in place if possible.

Geo.
