Typed letter from Nancy C. Russell to Mr. J. W. Theisen dated December 7, 1926 giving her response to the picture of fireplace and that she is anxious to get the garage apartment ready so she can move in, repeats a telegram she previously sent.

December 7 1926 Mr. J. W. Theisen, 524 Stonehurst Drive, Pasadena, California. Dear Jake: Your letter of November 30th received and the pho- tograph of the fireplace looks beautiful. I could not see from the blue print how it was going to look and I believe from this photo it will be lovely. I am glad you can go right at the house and I hope you can get the little apartment over the garage ready so that I can live there and batch until the balance of the house is finished. From the letters I received from the Coopers. I don’t believe Mrs. Cooper is very well so I don’t want to impose on her by staying very long with my father. Then, too, there is a man going to drive my car down. He has worked for us for two years and is a number one carpenter so will help with the work on the house as well as drive my car when I need it, and he will have to be taken care of and I cannot impose on daddy to that extent. So, please get the plaster on the lit- tle apartment so it will be dry as quickly as possible. I am hoping to leave here December 15th and will drive down there if possible. ast night I sent you the following telegram: “Glad you are working on the house. Crowd garage apartment as fast as possible so I can live there while the balance of house is finished. Fireplace looks good. Letter following.” Love to Nettie and the family, Sincerely,
