St. Leo's Church West Highlands Winston-Salem, N.C. Feb 1/32 My Dear Mr. Pitassi, My faint words can in no way express my gratification & pleasure at our two new windows. All the members of out parish of Easter- day were just halted & surprised. I did not let them know anything until the windows were in. The coloring of the blue robes on each figure is just beautiful and the delicate shades of light coming in is wonderful. I really believe from the remarks of many yesterday I shall have more orders soon. The window I wish to get now is the big one over the choir. You have all the dimensions etc for it haven't you. Tell me how much that window will cost. I have not even a prospect yet but you can never tell what may come so keep me in mind I may surprise you so happy & pleased. You will have your check very soon from the First Dep't of the Bank Sincerely F. Jerome Finn
