Description
Dear Mr. Burroughs,
In answer to your questions would say that the little {ruin ?} is to be taken away. So is the small dock. It is fine that you can use some of the material for other things. I wish I could look over and see the new cottage. It must be cute. I think the your idea of iron gates is great. You better order them soon so they will be finished in time. You see Colonel feels he has no time to wait for anything. Gates that could be raised or lowered would in my opinion be the most attractive but either will do. Colonel does not think he wants a balcony on the inside as he does not think people will ever see it much. I like the idea very much and would have it if I could. But we better not, as the Colonel does not approve. He is not keen on a balcony in the roof either. But you must just have anything that adds to the beauty of the building. The gas light and tank will be all right as it seems to be the only thing. I honestly do not think we need much of loft for storage purposes. And a balcony would be so nice. Maybe we can decide later if we can bring the Colonel around to our way of thinking. Our colds are cured now. Colonel has had an attack of digestive vertigo. It frightened me very much but he is now as well as usual. Dr. McIntosh says he is in perfect condition for his age which is a comfort. With best wishes as always yours in haste.
