From Benjamin H. Latrobe

Friday morning.— [21 June 1805]

Dear Sir,

We have now struck all the centers & I have employed Laborers to remove all the rubbish from the Ground story of the Capitol. If convenient to you to call when taking your ride at one o’clock, I shall be very happy to wait upon you to show You the Work, & will attend at the Building at that hour. The Men will then be at dinner & not return till two o’clock.

With true respect

B H Latrobe.
