17th Nov 1825 Improvements to Mr Gillespie's plan
I am much pleased with several of the alterations, amd think the whole laying out of the House by your scheme,
lends more to the real convenience and comfort of a
family mansion than Mr Gillespie's - I particularly
like the place given to the servants stair from the low
floor, the change of drawing room from the centre of the
House to the West end, and above all I am delighted at the manner in which you have contrived to light the principal attic room by windows of an ordinary size -
this was much wanted as the accomodation would probably
be given for school rooms, and sleeping apartments for
the children. You have furnished me with materials to
supply most of the defects that strike me in Mr Gillespie's plan & now I hope to make something between
you both that will afford the ordinary comfort in a
Highland Country.
