It was nice hearing from you again, especially as... ...should be much obliged if you would allocate the number FKN.1. to me and on hearing from you that this is so I will have the number plates made. Believe me, Yours sincerely, LETTER 2 (bolder text): Dear Sir, I am sorry for the mistake about the tax. Obviously, it is £38. 5. 0d. I knew this was so, and I am sorry I passed the clerical error. Would you like me to send you a cheque, dated about Christmastime, now, or would you rather I waited until nearer the time? Is there any Registration Fee payable now ? If so, please let me know the amount, and I will at once send you a cheque. Rt. Rev. Bishop Harmer, Kew Gardens. Again thanking you for your courtesy. Yours sincerely, [Handwritten Signature] | ||
