Dear Sirs, Your Order No. 82013. With further reference to our letter of the 23rd inst. in connection with Short Cylinder Inserts, we beg to advise you of the price for these samples. We are arranging to put these through at the previous price we quoted for 24 lots (see our quotation of November 9th, No.2455) so that the prices for this order will be - 8 off in Hicrome Alloy ........ at 9/8d. each. 8 off in Brivadium Alloy ...... at 4/7d. each. Delivery will be made as already promised, by February 4th. While on this subject we would also confirm having received from you this morning a further order for the same quantities, under No. 82058, and this order is endorsed "In accordance with your letter under reference as above". Bearing in mind that this previous order, 82013, was similarly endorsed we are wondering whether this order has been duplicated, and before we put in hand your new order, 82058, we would like you to confirm whether this is so.
