I have increased some of these items from my first estimate, on 

 the advice of a friend who has had a large experience in works of

 crucial test. Indeed I consider that in laying it before the pro- 

 fessional acumen of the society 1 am submitting it to the most 

 competent tribunal in this city, and if it meets with your approval I 

 shall be satisfied.
