What if they are the Same about weight of the bodies.

Typed:
Body For 1-B.50.

Confirming 'phone talk with your office this afternoon, Park Ward & Co., say they estimate this body complete will weigh about 9 1/2 cwts.

This sounds rather on the light side to us but Park Ward & Co., think it will not prove far out.

The body will be ready for collection on Saturday morning and Park Ward are anxious to know when you will send for it.

Please let us know what we may tell them.
