3		Dear Sir,

4		Is it possible for you to give me a complete plan of your Duchess Hill cottage and approximate cost of such a house, as I am desirous of building such a home. I am a manager of a Local chain Grocery store and have lived in this country for the past 10 years, formerly living in Scotland. I think your type of home ideal in many ways as I prefer to see all rooms on one floor.

5		Thanks you for your consideration.

6		Sincerely John Cowans

7		Acknowledge and suggest he get in touch with Henry Toombs. M. A. LE H.
