So I'm sending you some thoughts which, although they may sound blunt, will at least, I hope, have the virtue of being honest. Whether we part ways or continue to work together, I think it's important that I be frank with you so that we both know what the issues are before we proceed any further. Little Saint James is, of course, a wonderful property, but my fear is that the way we are currently approaching it is highly inefficient at best, and is, at worst, setting us both up for disappointment if not downright disaster. As I see it, the principal causes of this inefficiency are as follows: (1) Four other architects have preceded me on Little Saint James--in just the past two years, no less--with the result that there is very little unifying thought behind the project: the parts that should work together do not, in fact, do so and buildings have been constructed in what seems to be an altogether random fashion, with no thought as to how they should EFTA00734131 lO/A0LUMJ „arreatd 2!q„ QT.14 a3Einuis粤O3 atu mop p n auo- -psrmso; 2uro2 tproiddr 4UQJQJJTp E 3noqE luatuaar2E ue O3 atuoo p pop 1 pue noA 甲adog putom 1 4A3radard ay Jo ssaurepads ay `mar 4uaATO A0LTOUI pue awn Jr1OA JO pue VOA\ pUE QUIT; AUT JO alsem Iepurasqns r lueatu snp q3!1At pue 405e 3Ra/A r suoprpuop 2upspca Tear ay 3O2 1 4aram Lay sr paNOS aq 43pri u! 44,upinop go！gm stuanard ::sPsE:: ! aftrq I 3E甲--psekunop Aserqu ag3 JO 0FILITExa ltrapas ay 3E lsn【31OOT O3--lpi anq 1 43sesluop Au ‘(Arm QT.p 2uoTe pareurtulp aq m SnqO pue aftIOA0 O3 stop u E4JQD 8Upt'。ur) 2upTpa pur uonjalias pue atup armbar Aagi, 'umnorn E tuau a2raup-aauanadxa 2uoT u! seal le-lou op slIgnotp u2rsasa ' asep sap ut os op O3 竿aq TT!At 1 le弟 apinsoimo3 lou pur `QJOJ0Ci AM\ 甲p03[1O/A nAQII QMq I 'UOTSTA 2urtpseratto ur Tim dn aU1O3 QIQ甲 UTO1J NJO/A O3 pUE 4sTrelap 1tu ps psezegdrg AgmArms'?

To that end, my professional recommendation would be to close down the job for a couple of months--at least stopping construction on the residential part--and use that time to develop an "as is" plan (as well as a carefully elaborated budget) for the project as a whole. I strongly feel that you need to do this, whether or not I remain the architect on the project. The last thing either you or I want is for Little Saint James to look--after all the time and money spent on it--weird and unattractive, yet that is exactly what will happen if work continues to proceed in the current fashion. Inevitably, in that case, you will be extremely unhappy with what you end up with, and it will all be your architect's fault! Obviously, this is not at all what I want--for you or for me. Again, I am leveling with you like this because I feel so strongly that both you and Little Saint James deserve better--and that I myself am capable of infinitely much better--than what is happening on the job right now. I do hope you will take my honesty in the spirit in which it was intended: as a respectful expression of my desire that this project be done light.
