With this In view, permit to say that the entire job is very satisfactory, and It gives me pleasure to tell you we are well pleased, the more so for the rcaron that we were forced to be absent from I-tturel for three months, during which time the work prognMcd without delay.

The further fact of the architect being absent two months adds to the credit you deserve as contractor.
