Now we have [illegible] in our very large new warehouses in Sun Street, we are importing [illegible] and other glass goods in four or five times the quantity, we could store in our old place, so that we shall hold presently the August stock of glass apparatus in London, enabling us to fill orders of every size in much shorter issue.
We shall not loose a day or a book so soon as we are ready with the order early in April.
We beg to call your attention to fene glass listed by the [illegible] book post. Your esteemed further orders will oblige.
Yours truly
[Illegible]
