1881-09-19 Letter: G. E. Richardson to Superintendent, concerning complaint about Tower, 2014.020.005-013

because it's a tempting place to go if one wishes to get an extensive view, but if his stom-ach is at all sensitive, it's pretty sure to be upset before he reaches the top.

Hoping you will give this matter your attention, I am

Yours respect^ly G.E. Richardson

Dear Sir, I wish to call your attention to the condition of the interior of "the Tower". Yesterday morning it had the appearance of not having been swept for a number of days and it had evidently been used as a urinal that very day. It's condition was such that if I had happened to have had friends with me, - strangers visiting Cambridge especially, - I should have been mortified extremely. If no method can be devised to prohibit the committing of nuisances in "the Tower", why not shut it up?
