Referring once mors to your letter of the 7th, and especially 
to its concluding paragraph, which seems to imply that you are not 
décided as to certain points, it has occurred to me to add a line 
or two in this manner to my letter of November llth, 
Mr. Howe informs me that he agreed with you upon the follow- 
ing modifications of the plant-- : 
The building of an 8" partition wall from cellar to roof~ 
boarding between the Library and the Museum, enclosing and em- 
bodying the studs of the original wooden partition, which was set 
as required by contract; the hanging of a fire proof door in this 
partition between entrance hall and Museum; the building up of 
brick breasts to the fire places in the Museum and Tibrary; cer- 
tain Modifications of the truss work in the Museum occasioned by 
this brick work; a division partition of brick in the cellar, en- 
closing the furnace room; the placing of a ceiling of corrugated 
iron under the floor joists. He understood that these changes 
were satisfactory to you, ard were to’be carried out in the work.
