Messrs. Ernest Turner Ltd.,
Northdown House,
Northdown Street,
Kings Cross,
LONDON. N.1.

Dear Sirs,

We thank you for your letters of the 10th. instant and also for the pattern books of upholstery cloths, headlining materials and carpets, also for the lists of materials of which you are out of stock.

With reference to our order number 59194 - special draught excluder. We note that the rubber manufacturers say that they can only make this section in 6ft. lengths. It may be that the people to whom you refer have not the facilities for producing longer lengths without bending. Should you wish to try other sources of supply, we will send you some more blue prints if you will let us know that you would like them.

As this draught excluder is to be fitted in one length and it is found that no one can produce lengths above 6ft. perhaps they can arrange to join two lengths together so as to give us 12ft. lengthd, this being the length that is required for our door.

Yours faithfully,
