Dear Kevin:
Thank you for the carpet samples.
O.K. on Edward Fields 'Eden' per sample, for quality and color 20' x 11' $2,430. Please proceed to order.
On the carpet for the pit, do you think this color suggested looks dark enough to go with the cushion sample. I'd like to try for a darker shade, please, so hold up on ordering this.
Thanks for working on a design for the glass top table and the door and window problems for the Florida house.
Sincerely,
[annotated]
