Office of Seattle Hardware Co. <br> -3- <br> R. G. McN.- <br><br> it next fall. I trust that your Building Committee will see the wisdom of placing this building in the front row as mapped out on the general plan for the location of buildings, and reserve, as you indicated at the Thursday evening meeting, the circles for more expensive buildings to be hereafter erected. In that front row is room for nine or ten buildings costing about $30,000.00 apiece, and I would not advise erecting any buildings on the back row until the front row is completed, for the reason that by so doing you will be able to get the best scenic effect of the buildings from the city. <br> With kind regards to Mrs. McNiece and the boys, I remain, <br> Very respectfully yours, <br> Sheldon Jackson* <br><br> Kindly sign the action the** taken at the trustee meeting with regards to freeing my property. Have Bro McClain attest it as Secretary, then send to Gen Eaton to Affix the seal, and when so sealed to be handed to Mrs Jackson. <br><br><br> * handwritten inserts in the original typewritten document <br> ** "the" is crossed out in ink <br><br>
