Thank you for your letter of the 8th.inst., What we shall have to do, of course, is to have a sample made up by hand, which you will appreciate may not be perfect in general finish, but we take it this possibly will be all right for the purposes of trial. We can, no doubt, give you something which would be satisfactory, but at the same time we would call your attention to the fact that in order to supply the pattern you require, it will be necessary for further dies and tools to be made, a matter of possibly £25. or so. We merely mention this, as we wonder whether this would influence your decision to make any change. Yours faithfully, p.p.BLUEMEL BROS.LTD | ||
