Nightingale Road,
DERBY.

Dear Sirs,

We thank you for your letter of the 12th inst. Wd {Mr Wood / Mr Whitehead} /Ms6/FJ, asking us to quote for three 12 volt, "Bull Dog" B.D.11 Batteries.

Would you please let us have the following information.

(1) Are the cells to be separate and bolted together or are the cell to cell connections to be burnt together.

(2) Are the cells to be put in to a crate with handles, which in turn has to go into a teak box, or are they to be put direct into a teak case with our special means of fastening recently described to you.

(3) Are the cells to be loose in whatever box they are or can they be sealed firmly in. We should rather prefer the latter, especially if the cells are to be burnt together.

On receipt of this information we shall be happy to quote and can deliver in about 7/10 days from receipt of order.

Awaiting your further reply,

Yours faithfully,
PETO & RADFORD.
