Enclosure

John M. Perry’s Proposal for Rotunda Brickwork

december 5th 1822

Sir

 I propose to do the brickwork of the Library for $10,500
if the attic is of brick, add 800
$11 300

in makeing this proposition I have Considered that the thickness of the walls altho Circular would Justify my estimating the Brick at 10$ per M which I have done

Respectfully your obt, St

John M Perry
