private, must furnish a statement of the place, ground, 
kind of building and what they wish to expend, con- 
templated size and materials with their cost at the 
place where it is to be erected. Whereupon if employ- 
ed as architect 1 will furnish the needfull plans, eleva- 
tions and estimates. For which 1 must be paid as any 
other architect would be, unless 1 am allowed a stipu- 
lated sum as chief architect, or commission on cost of 
the whole. 
if any other architect has been or is to he employed, 
he may take all that trouble on himself, I shall merely 
want a copy of his plans and estimates, whereupon I 
will state how l can undertake to add the incombustible 
property by myself or proxy. But no architect is to 
see my operations nor study my new art unless he pays 
me, or his employers for him 8 1000, 
These Statements ought to be handed to me, or sent 
me by private conveyance, unless the postage is paid, 
I recommend to state outside of the letters, Application 
for L A, 
1 shall be ready to attend to this business and under- 
take buildings on the 1st September, 1838. If 1 receive 
many distant applications, I will appoint agents when- 
ever it is necessary to attend in person.
