St. Leo's Church
1990 Angelo Street
Winston-Salem, N.C.
March 31 - 1937.
Dear Mr. Pitassi,
Here I am as successor to Rev Leo Frierson &
Rev Jerome Finn - You did some work for me at St. Benedict
in Richmond Va.
I want to order one window - "St Francis" and
I am asking you for a price for the same as in your letter to Rev
Leo Frierson 3/26/35. You gave the price as $300- minus freight.
Now please give me your figure & cost of the large window of the
four Evangelists as it is my desire to put the large window in.
I think it best to install the windows rather than pay off the
church debt - so please give me you best prices as I would
love to put in the windows to complete the church.
With best wishes to you and Easter greetings,
Sincerely yours
F. Cornelius Dreke O.S.B.Transcriber
