Description

Typewritten letter on H.F. Huber & Co. letterhead, written to Mrs. F.A. Seiberling in Akron Ohio and dated April 2nd, 1915 regarding needlework strips he thinks would be perfect for the Library draperies. He recommends genuine tapestry on the Dining Room chairs as it would last longer than the "figured velvet", and he mentions that he has located a couple of tapestries for the Hall. He also mentions the four poster bed for Irene's Room has been purchased from Mr. Mawer, with whom he negotiated a price of 88 pounds, down from the original 110 and he indicates he has yet to receive the funds from Mr. Seiberling.
