New Orleans, La.
March 24th 1870

Col. Mason,
Supt of Education,

Colonel:
I hereby certify that Mr Jno Page, Builder is entitled to the fourth and last payment- twelve hundred and fifty dollars as per contract for the erection of the building on Esplanade Street known as Straight University, after he has repaired the roof, floors of chapel galleries, laid the outside gallery floors in white lead and painted the same, also stiffened  and painted the stairs.
Very Respectfully
Saml B. Haggart 
Architect 

P.S.
I would recommend that the gallery floors be well painted and left as they are. The paint would fill the joists sufficiently to prevent leakage
S. B. Haggart. Arch
