Letter: Milton Bancroft to Margaret Moore Bancroft, 1920

Salmagundi Club FORTY-SEVEN FIFTH AVENUE NEW YORK

April 20 1920 Dear one: I have just received an estimate from the electrician which makes me [but?] [Burne?] got estimates from this man & sent them to me for 16 outlets costing $125 or if more than 16 at rate of $6 50 each. Now in this estimate sent me direct from Byington who is at Bridgehampton he asks 2 50 per outlet & calculates 31 outlets as being necessary for the whole house in addition 2 00 each for wire & fixtures exclusive of glassware and of course the ceiling globes or brackets will run up in addition. The thing that beats me is the addition of the 1⁰⁰ to the rate for outlets.

It is however a better figure than the other man who wanted $234 for the same work but from what I can learn here 3⁵⁰ to 4⁰⁰ is the ordinary rate.

Byington is coming up here next Monday
