Dear Mr. Delano:
Thanks for yours of the eleventh, enclosing me a
clipping about the Swimming Pool from the Paris
edition of The New York Herald, signed by yourself.
I am hoping that work will soon start on the White
House. If the Congress had allowed me to go ahead
and fix it in the first place I would have had it half
done by now and I know very well it wouldn't have
cost anywhere near what they are saying it is going
to cost. I am counting on you to see that the cost
doesn't run into an outrageous figure, and to see
that the job is done so it will last five hunéred years.
You know McKim, Mead and White had a great reputa-
tion as Architects but if their reputation was based on
the work in the White House they wouldn't have any.
I don't want that to happen to you.
Sincerely yours,
by TROMAH
