Insulating Materials. Before sending your esteemed enquiry of yesterday's date to the Swiss Insulating Works Ltd of Bretonbse, kindly say if you can obtain the Licence to import these goods, recently restricted by the Board of Trade. If these are for shipment a licence may not be necessary, in which case my principals in Switzerland could also quote F.O.B. Continental ports. Awaiting the favour of your reply, Yours faithfully, (Sgd) Archibald Campbell. Phone. Hornsey 2601. Telegrams - "Unsubdued Crouchway London."
