Description

Typewritten letter on Warren H. Manning letterhead, written to Mr. Frank A. Seiberling in Seattle, Washington and dated March 25th, 1912 regarding updates on the construction of Stan Hywet Hall, specifically the type of bridge he has in mind for the "quarry on the turf vista south of the house." This is likely in the Dell. He includes a drawing of the Japanese Garden. He states that these are original drawings which have no copies and he jokingly mentions putting them into his den that he is dreaming of having at the house. He mentions that he is having all of his drawings "framed uniformly in a simple way" to document the development of the quarries. He uses almost 5 pages to reference plants from a book he has included, describing how each could be incorporated into the design.
