We have your favour of the 9th March and regret to note that your reply to ours of the 22nd January went astray. We have had the Clock going under observation for some few weeks and are sending it forward to you this week, together with some comments regarding same. We believe you will now be entirely satisfied with the Clock. Of course, it is understood that many improvements will be made in carrying out a bulk order, the Clock in the present instance showing main principles. Yours faithfully, FOR GENT & CO.LTD.
