Dear Sirs,
Attention of F.{Mr Friese} J.{Mr Johnson W.M.} Hardy, Esq.
Cams, our M.22166. Rollers, our M.22167/8.
We acknowledge receipt of your letter of the 15th instant, and the Cam and rollers have also come to hand, and upon investigating we are very sorry to find that the Cams are cut with the incorrect cutter. Replacement Cams are being rushed through and we will arrange to deliver these to you as quickly as possible.
We shall be glad, therefore, if you will arrange to return to us the remaining two Cams that you have.
We greatly regret the circumstances, and any inconvenience this error may have caused you.
Yours faithfully,
for ADAMANT ENGINEERING COMPANY LIMITED.
