Dear Sirs, We beg to acknowledge your letters of the 18th and 22nd of November on the subject of spring interleaving, which have awaited the writer's return from the Continent this morning. This matter is receiving our attention and we hope in due course to submit the sample quantities you mention in your letter. We will endeavour to do this by the 6th of December. The question of price is one which will have to be gone into very carefully and when we are ready with this we will ask you to be good enough to put us in touch with Mr. Frank Woodhead so that the matter can proceed further. Yours faithfully, FERODO LIMITED [SIGNATURE] Chief Chemist & Director. [Handwritten note] 8 Thns 9 Fri | ||
