Will you send me an approximate estimate of the cost of materials and labor necessary for the doing of the following work:
Slip covers with valances of English hand-blocked linen for two large wing chairs and one chaise-longue.
Two reversible portières of the linen for doorways 11 feet high and 8 feet wide.
Three pairs curtains for casement windows 6 feet high and 5 feet wide, with pleated valance. These curtains to be of habutai silk.
Of course I shall understand that this is purely an approximate estimate.
I should like to have this as soon as you can conveniently send it.
Very truly yours,
Katherine G. Evans.
(Mrs. John Evans)
