Feb 20th Dear Sir [This] Your Communication with reference to overlooking of Your Olmsted application (No 367) duly received Mr O particularly desired to have it entered in the Art department as he considered it more in the light of a work of art than of engineering. However if it is [absolutely] impossible to get a entered as desired We would like to have it get among this engineering works.(probably in this machinery dept?) The exhibits is in the hands of Messrs De Stuckle, & Salmon (24 Park PL.) who [are going] were to see the art commissioners personally the result I have not heard. I would suggest that as the exhibit is arranged to stand alone [so that] even of all the wall space is taken up in the Art Dept. there may yet be room for this
