Dear Mr.Robotham,
Thank you for your letter of September 26th.
It is always a little difficult to estimate what an experimental instrument will cost unless the design is already settled, and in this particular case we were unfortunate.
I thank you for offering to contribute £5 towards this expense, with which I am entirely satisfied.
Yours sincerely,
W.Martin-Hurst.
