[Body] Dear Sirs, With reference to your enquiry of the 17th inst. for Neoprene Tubing, we have prepared a 24" length 3/8" bore 2 ply, which we are sending on to you today. We can supply in the lengths specified at 2/3 each net, and we could make the ends free of wire if required. With reference to the fixing of a union and nut to this tubing, we suggest that an ordinary hose clip of the size required would be suitable. Yours faithfully, per THE NORTHERN RUBBER CO. LTD.
