2. Getting a model made of the Building. This is necessary
on several accounts.
1. To serve as a Basis of negotiation for the Building contract
2. To enable me to settle a number of details respecting which
a variety of information not to be obtained but from persons
conversant in building will be necessary to me.
3. To serve as a basis of negotiation for the management-contract
4. To serve as a basis of calculation, or at least of conjecture,
with regard to the expence of Building.
As to the details of Construction they cannot be definitively settled, nor —
consequently the building contract made till some sort of
settlement is come to with regard to the choice of the Manufacture.
For suppose a peculiarly-promising manufacture
offers and the mode of construction fixed upon is such as
puts a negative upon it? It will be my study however to
give it every latitude, and I have hit upon expedients for
the purpose.
What Architect to apply to? Such a man as Mr
Blackburne perhaps would give advise, and some pupil
of his might be got to execute the Model. I could come at
Mr Blackburne I believe by means of a common friend.
I have some little knowledge of a very ingenious Man, a
Mr Revely, but I know not whether he has ever turned his
thoughts to this particular line.
The idea of having a model was your suggestion. I
had forgot that my Brother had one made which was actually
before me. But I question whether in conversation we sufficiently
seperated the business of getting the Model and that of
