We will do our best to despatch these Bushes during next week, as it will be necessary to make up certain tools for the size mentioned as this is not a standard one with us. You may rely, however, upon everything possible being done to urge this matter through, and we await your official order to cover these Bushes in due course. Thanking you in anticipation, and assuring you of our best attention at all times. Yours faithfully, VANDERVELL PRODUCTS LIMITED. ENCLOSURE: B.2253.
