GO TO; LET US BUILD A TOWER.

MY DEAR ARCHITECT: I've been hearing a variety of suggestions from Miss Jane,
the substance of which she has already forwarded you in a letter. Her ideas are excellent.
They ought to be adopted in every household. I wish to have them carried out as far as
possible in mine, when the time comes. She favors a basement kitchen, which I had
always thought objectionable. If adopted it would change my arrangement considerably.
What do you think of it? How high shall I have the different stories, and will you give me
some hints for exterior? I intended to have a tower or a cupola, but after so much change I
hardly know where I am coming out. There is something very imposing about a tower,
and a cupola seems to finish the house handsomely, besides affording fine views. I feel
decidedly partial to French roofs, but have seen some very awkward ones that I should be
sorry to imitate. They give excellent chambers and have a modern look. The latter point I
suppose you will not think important.
Truly,
FRED.




LETTER XXXIII.
From the Architect.
