Sent fromJ.R. Moore Simpson
24 Sep 1929
Description:'Dear Professor Pearson,
Thank you for your letter of the 18th of September...
... [discussions of W.C. arrangements, hot water supply to all sinks] ...
I had hesitated to raise the dwarf walls of the pens from off the floor in case they were not rigid, but I think they can be reinforced in some way.
The only other of your comments to which I need refer is your request for sash windows. I was anxious to eliminate timber entirely for the construction of the building and further, these windows being greater in width than in height do not lend themselves to the sash type.
I enclose a sketch being based on the hospital type of window which would allow good regulation of ventilation, would be constructed of metal and could, by the use of a gear operated by a long arm, be worked from outside the pens. I should like to use this type if you agree.
Yours sincerely,
J.R. Moore Simpson.’
