[Pencil initials: Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}] Dear Sirs, We are in receipt of your letter of the 29th June and thank you for your official order to your Drawing E.87003. The drawing is not yet to hand, but immediately it arrives we will advise you as to delivery, etc. With regard to your letter of May 8th, the difference in price is accounted for by the fact that the Bentley Core was of non-standard dimensions as regards our production and therefore entailed additional cost in setting special dies, etc. Yours faithfully, For GALLAY LTD.
