1871-11-06 Sphinx: Colonel Folsom to J. T. Bradlee, 1831.011.005-003 - p2

Corporation is to provide
shed-room, and if I
am to build the same;
I would respectfully sug-
gest that I be authoriz-
ed to procure the joists or
timbers for the same, & be
have them framed, this fall, so
as to be ready to clap the shed
up without delay around
the Sphinx, when it arrives.

Of course a shed
for winter sculpture will
have to be pretty tight, in
order to be easily & economically
warmed; therefore framing the
joists will be desirable for so
large a shed -
Very respectfully,
CW Folsom
