Copy letter from Herbert Rix, to Messrs Drake & Gorham, 2 Princes Mansions, Victoria Street In response to their letter of 15 May, Rix notes that any days between two Thursdays will suit them, but expresses a preference for Whitsuntide, 7-11 June, providing their workmen are not taking holiday at the same time. As, Rix presumes, the lights will be off during the repairs, they will need to discover Mr Hope's wishes in the matter. 17 May 1889
