If you see the President, you might put in a word
to the effect that if he is as anxious as I am to see
the work in the White House accomplished at the smallest
possible figure, the Consulting Architect's work should
be not only a matter of interior decoration but he should
have a voice in the method of construction a.s well. It
is a complicated situation at best, since all of the
working drawings for the restoration have been drawn at
quarter-scale and any revisions now - even if they saved
money in the execution - might meet with opposition. I
hope you understand what I mean, and I trust to your
great skill as a diplomat.
