Dear Sir,

We thank you for your letter dated November 30th, and we are very pleased to hear from you again.

We very much regret that owing to enemy action we have no negatives left with us before 1939, and thus are unable to meet your requirements for contact prints. We would inform you that you have an outstanding credit balance of £7.19.3d., on our books.

We are pleased to inform you that our are.practically back again to normal and we are carrying on our pre war services for developing, printing and enlarging, and have pleasure in enclosing herewith our latest price list.

We are looking forward with pleasure to your future orders which we can assure you will receive our prompt and best attention.

Yours faithfully, p.p.JAMES A.SINCLAIR & CO. LIMITED.
