Dear Richard,

Today, I was washing the brushes, cleaning all lime-washes, preparing=myself to go back home, as Mr. Epstein walked in. I showed him the sample = I worked last night on it, trying to express the 18 c finish that would s=rvive on the wall and how it could look like today after this long).

=div>We have to recall how the early 19 c house was operating. There w=s no AC and the heating was just from the fireplace. The color usually was=eventually repainted and left alone for decades. The wood resin would sip =hrough the paint leaving imperfections and imbedded dust on the surface. l=think, I succeeded in my effort and showed it to Mr. Epstein. To my surpri=e he liked it. I also lime-washed the columns, what I called "bald&qu=t;. The

covering the surface with lime-wash is the initial step for finish=ng them. We had short conversation and we further cleared future misunders=andings. He wants me to finish each column different, as when he was livin= with Pope John Paul the Second in Vatican, he looked at variety of differ=nt columns captured in wars. He told me that every Pope demanded to have a=column from every concurred country, so there is a collection of different=columns in Vatican.

He also suggested to me, to take a break. l=think, I would like to do this.

The main reason for this is to =e-fresh my eyes and have a relaxed "cool" look at the proje=t after few days. From my experience it works well. He also suggested that=l will come with Bart. I am not sure how long can he stay, but I would let=you know a bit later. Mr. Epstein wants me to re-finish two Globe Stands, =hich Bart can assist me with stripping existing finish and I will continue=with staining and finishing them. If you will be so kind and arrange my fl=ght this coming Saturday and coming back following Wednesday with Bart? If=you have any question or comment, please let me know.

Warm regar=s,
Brandon
