We should, of course, do our best to supply as rapidly as possible, but we should not care to commit ourselves to you beyond this in case there should be any hitch. We shall be glad to have your instructions in the matter at your convenience. Yours faithfully, FOR THE LIGHT PRODUCTION CO. LTD., Martin V.{VIENNA} Roberts MANAGING DIRECTOR. | ||
