Dear Sir!
Your two favors of 14 + 15th inst.
duly received and in reply beg to say that we ordered
yesterday from the M. G. Roy an empty car.
In your letter of yesterday you repeat the order given
us when here, but in comparing the ordering we find they don’t
correspond and we must therefore request you to repeat the order.
You ordered when here
8125 plain red brick
200 red rock faced
?{450 jambs 3” radius # 17
220 #129, 4” radius
110 #212, 8” half round
You ordered yesterday
8125 plain
200 rock face
?{ 450 #129 3” radius
{220 #17 4” “
110 #212 half round
The numbers are the same and we think you made an error yesterday when ordering 450 #129 + 220 #17, instead of 450 jambs #17 (which are 3” radius) and 220 # 129 (which are 4” radius)
+ instead to lay alternately with #212 the half round.
We enclose our chart which will show you our different shapes +
numbers. Please reply by return mail + oblige Yours truly
