S.hauduroy.<br />

Hauduroy claims that he has already executed the facade and<br />

master plan for the price of six guineas, as four out of the ten guineas<br />

thab Blathwayt paid him were spent on the cost of transport from London<br />

and the cost of food at Dyrhaxn. Eauduroy also lists a design for the<br />

terrace coping, a design for the window frames on the facade, a plan<br />

of the whole house including a plan of the stables, and two designs<br />

f or door panelling for Jacob. (This may refer to John Jacob, whose<br />

name appears in the accounts for 1693 for supplyin tiles, and crops<br />

up again in the accounts for 1700/1 in connection with plasterer's<br />

LI.1<br />

work). Hauduroy also lists a design for the three large windows at the<br />

end of the hall, with one in the form of an alcove; the design for the<br />

latter still survives.<br />

Hauduroy also mentions designs executed for Biathwayt in London.<br />

Perhaps one of the most revealing points in this letter is the effort<br />

which Hauduroy had to make to instruct and correct the workmen, and the<br />

long hours that the whole process involved. It must however, be remembered<br />

+hat this is a begging letter, and although Hauduroy was undoubtedly<br />

conscientious, he was bound to emphasize this.
