St. Gregory Rectory 1634 Gregory Street Chicago Jan. 16/31. Dear Mr. Pitassi: Am sending you check on account. Balance will be paid when you come here to see the windows. I thought I had written you about the chair window when I sent last check. The Window is wonder- ful, rich in color, very ornamental in its figures, and not too dark. This last feature is very qualifying. The Chapel win- dows arrived on the premises this afternoon and will by in- stalled on Monday and Tuesday next week. Probably by Wednes- day night they will be finished. Glass men are allowed to [page 2] work on four days a week and only six hours a day, and are not supposed to do too much work in a day. You may come anytime after Wednesday, or if you so wish, wait until next week, but not on Tuesday Jan. 27, as we have a sectional meeting that night of Tuesday which I must attend, and Mr. Perry usually spends part of the evening here when he comes. The glass man told me they had nothing to do, so I expect they will surely be here Monday morning. I am Yours Truly Michaal Klasen.
