Dear Sirs, For the attention of A.F. Martindale Esq. Reverting to your letter of the 6th instant, and ours of the 11th, we shall be despatching the brake liners to you within a day or so, and will advise you of despatch. In your letter of December 15th, you were good enough to advise us that you would issue an official order for the quantity then asked for, but as this was so small we did not think it worth while to bother you. However, your requirements as outlined in your letter of the 6th and ours of the 11th, amount approximately to one gross of liners, and we would esteem it a favour if you could see your way clear to issuing an official order for these, the prices of which would be as per enclosed. Thanking you, Yours faithfully, HUBERT H.P. TRIST & COMPANY. | ||
