Dear Sir, We write to acknowledge receipt of your letter dated 10th February. Unfortunately, your letter only just reached us here and whilst the driver of your lorry yesterday did state that he was expected to take away some sheets we could not have prepared this consignment without keeping the lorry unduly and we therefore sent it away with the chassis material only. We will get these sheets together and telegraph you immediately they are available to be picked up - which should be in the course of the next very few days. Yours faithfully, for JOHN SUMMERS & SONS, LIMITED. L. C. Saeker SALES MANAGER. VAD | ||
