Dear Sirs, With further reference to your letter of the 27th April, we now have pleasure in sending you one or two samples of a Rubber Washer made as near as possible to your Part No. EW.1666. Unfortunately the hole is not quite correct, because we have not a punch to the required size. We hope, however, that the samples will enable you to decide whether this material is satisfactory, and that our price will be competitive. Yours faithfully, pp. SPAULDINGS LTD. H.J.W. Couzens. ENCL.
