Has considered Irving's arguments why Irving should not pay for the impending alterations to the Lyceum. Irving's large outlay has not benefitted him personally but has been made on Arnold's property. If Irving still believes on reflection that Arnold should bear the whole cost, he will pay for the alterations. |
