I do hereby give you notice that I intend to build the stone foundations for 2 iron cottages & shops in Albert & Clarendon Streets East Melbourne for Mr Benjamin and that Gabriel John Blewett of No. 2 Fitzroy Street Collingwood am to be the builder of the works to be executed, and that the said work will be begun on the 21st day of October at - o'clock in the - noon. Dated this 18th day of October 1854, JW Blewett.

Gabriel John Blewett to do the work. Written as such, indicating John as a middle name of the younger Gabriel. The building application gives what is likely the Blewett men's earliest address in Melbourne – 2 Fitzroy street Collingwood (right on Victoria parade, now part of St Vincent’s Hospital). Moses Benjamin was a shopkeeper (see 'The Late Moses Benjamin JP', Jewish Herald, 7 August 1885, p.10).
