My dear Mr. Purcell,

How about the designs for the small rug and table: I have the men started on some furniture and I will be glad to get at yours.

I have the material all lined up for the rugs and I am waiting to see what colors you will want in yours: Will probably be obliged to get most of the dying done in Philadelphia.

It will be much better to have it done there except in the case of special shades. These I can get done here.

Hope to hear from you soon.
Sincerely,
Robert Jarvie [signature]
