Pear Pr. Eoblnson:- 
Some time ago yon asked me to look up speci¬ 
fications and equipment for a photographic room for the new 
wing. As. opportunity has occurred since then I have made in¬ 
quiries ar.G have examined several such rooms that were sup-osed 
to be more or less ideal. I intended to have talked with you 
at last Club meeting about this matter, but it entire!; slipped 
ray mind. 
I am not sure that 1 can now correctly recall all the 
various points that you had in mind relating pn the room, and 
am writing to ask if you will give me your present ideas in 
regard to the matter. As I recall the points they were as 
follows (question mark indicates doubt): 
1 Park room without doors 
2 ior regular line of photographic developing and printing 
3 Facilities for making enlargements(?) 
4 Facilities for making lantern slides 
5 Lighting 
If you can arrange for a space 6 >: 12 feet for this room 
you will, I am sure, have npa.ee to install all necessary equip- 
raent to do the work mentioned above, beside having ample storage 
room for negatives, plates, printing frames, cameras, etc.

I hope you -are enjoying the best of health since I saw 
you last. 
Very truly yours,
