and a small supply of films, plates, and printing paper. 
Do not fear to take responsibility in these matters. Your judgment of 
what is likely to be needed in connection with cameras such as those selec¬ 
ted will be far better than my judgment. Of course, no one can be quite 
sure. 
I am anxious to get the equipment of the photographic room duly provided 
for, so that .1 may be able to check that matter off my expense account for 
the whole building, which, financed by several distinct gifts, is at best 
pretty complicated. 
The one thing we shall not need for our photographic room is a lantern. 
We have, as you will remember, an electric lamp just over our developing 
sink. I am planning to have this surrounded by a tin or sheet-iron box 
provided on the lower surface with plates of olive and ruby glass, so arran¬ 
ged as to draw out as we wish to have more or less light. 
I shall be very grateful if you will proceed to do the necessary ordering 
of the photographic apparatus for us, getting for us of course as good a 
discount as possible and having the articles sent directly to the Gray Her¬ 
barium, Cambridge, Mass. The bill also should be drawn in the same way. 
Then I want you to let me know what percentage of commission will fairly re 
pay you for all the time and trouble you will have , jut into the matter on 
our account. 
Sincerely yours,
