Dear Sirs, In reply to your letter of the 9th. inst. relative to your Order No. 24837, we very much regret the delay which has taken place in delivery; but we were unfortunate in scrapping the first 3 rollers which were put through. Appreciating your position, we are doing all we possibly can with regard to delivery; but fear that we cannot possibly despatch these before either the evening of the 15th. or early on the 16th. and trust that this will be in time for you to fit them on the next test car. Yours faithfully, RANSOME & MARLES BEARING CO. LTD., G.S.H. Richards GENERAL MANAGER: | ||
