Unfortunately, when I loaded them, the green light came on. I did not know why. I had to ask Bart to help me. We had to do this two at the time, because there was a limit on how many pictures you can send from the phone. This weekend, I will work on better photographic transmission because the camera and the phone pictures are not describing reality well. I will go this Sunday to St. Thomas and try to buy filters. Definitely, I will work on these transmissions, so Mr. Epstein can witness progress better. I know what he wants now and if I knew this when I came here for the first time this project would be finished by now. I feel sort of guilty, not communicating and extending this work for so long. It may turn out, that I will be the best tool in restoration for him yet. There is another factor in this work, it is the drying time. Many times I will develop a nice finish, but than when is completely dry changes the color to lighter. So be patient with me for a little while yet. I worked on it only 20 hours. The way I want to work this Library this time is establishing the harmonious over all color and feel, and than work the details. I want this Library to look the best it can be. Please, give me another 16-20 hours and you will start to see good results. This is large space and it will take a lot of work. I am working as hard as possible. Before I went to NY for two days ( the plane had a problem, the fuel pump did not work, so we arrived in NY Sunday at 6:30 pm), I covered the "bald" columns with white-wash. I toned them down now and they are ready to apply the finish. I sent you the pictures of the molding what was an existing finish, which is not acceptable. I will work on the molding today, as I also had to apply the white wash to have a new start. Also, I will be more descriptive from now on, so I will be sending the pictures and comments on them. Today I will re-send the pictures again and will follow with new ones. Kindly, Brandon On Sat, May 23, 2015 at 3:40 AM, Richard Kahn < wrote: Where are additional pictures you said would follow?

The treatment has to be creative, with spontaneous accents, fresh and unstructured. > I will "pick" the best parts of the already treated areas and produce versions of them. > Thank you, > Brandon > This e-mail will be followed by the note from my I-phone and pictures EFTA00674413
