Dear Sirs,

We are very sorry to have to inform you that your delivery is not up to your usual standard. The material seems to be too loosely woven and is inclined to pull out of shape. By separate mail we have sent you a cutting from this material, also one from cloth of an early consignment, so that you can compare the two and see the difference in texture.

We have always been able to rely on the high quality of the materials you sent us and we are all the more disappointed in this case because we supplied the cloth to new customers. As we’ll have to take it back we must ask you to let us know, without delay, what you can do to help us in getting over this difficulty.

Yours faithfully,

Dear Sirs,

With reference to your inquiry of 6th of February concerning the firm named on the enclosed slip, we can advise you that they are old established dealers of the highest repute and standing and are considered safe for the credit you mention.

This information is for your own use only and is given without responsibility.

Yours faithfully,
