Thank you for you letter. We contacted the manufacturer upon receipt of your letter, urging them to expedite delivery. We are very sorry we were unable to answer your letter last month, as we did not know the exact time of shipment owing to their delay in reply.

We shall cable you shipping advice once the loading is completed.
Yours faithfully,
