June 24/29 Belmont Abbey BELMONT, NORTH CAROLINA Mr. A. L. Pitassi Pgh. PA Dear Pitassi - Yours received happy to learn that you have done so well and are pleased with the results; glad you are feeling well at the end of the job. I will have Father Cornelius send you the money as requestedd and when all windows are in place you will be paid promptly. I am going to Richmond tonight will be there all this week - and hope to come over to Pittsburgh - probably before you ship the last windows. Dedication has been set back to August 6th Tuesday - this is definite. You did not mention the two circle windows one St Scholastica schrine one St Benedict schrine - just at the Sanctuary end of the long side aisles - a spot of rich color will be attractive in these - please include these. Will send you a blue print suggestion of the design St Benedict's medal from the Beuron School of Art. I expect to go to the hospital to have my eye attended to. This leaves me indefininte as to dote, but I want you to come to Richmond - to Winston-Salem, Pinehurst, and Belmont - Michael
