Pear Pr. Robinson:- 
Mass. 
Some time ago you 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 and have examined several such rooms that were supposed 
to be more or less ideal. I intended to have talked with you 
at last Club meeting about this matter, but it entirely slipped 
my mind. 
I am not sure that I can now corrdctly rec&ll all the 
various points that you had in mind relating £o 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 For 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 x 12 feet for this room 
you will, I am sure, have space to install all necessary equip¬ 
ment to do the work mentioned above, beside having ample storage 
room for negatives, plates, printing frames

health since I saw 
you last. 
Very truly yours.
