In this instance we observe that you would like us to supply the same grade of material, and cast by the same process as for certain other of our current productions, which will receive our attention.

We trust that this will meet with your requirements. Yours faithfully, FOR C.& B. SMITH LIMITED. [Signature: J.C.Harris] | ||
