              This letter is from the Director of Kodaikanal & Madras Observatories to the Executive Engineer, Madura, regarding the plans and estimates for the bookbinder shed. He prefers the original plan to place the bookbinder in the present workshop and build a new workshop, as the mechanic's work on the anvil will disturb the observation work in the south dome. It also suggests that the verandah is only needed at the east and west sides of the workshop as if the verandah is at all sides, it makes the room dark, and that part of the eastern verandah should be enclosed to be used as smiddy.
