Note
Dear sir, Yours of May 25, File 41058-2, has been received. Yesterday I sent three dozen baskets as requested by Miss Moodie. I expect to send the balance, i.e. 9 dozen at the end of the week. As you will notice, the baskets sent are better than the sample sent some time ago, especially one dozen. Our Indians can make very good baskets as you will also notice by the sample I am sending in a separate parcel. Kindly let me know how much you could pay for same, a doz. Should you want some other samples of baskets, any shape colour or form, kindly let me know. The sample I sent you some time ago was not very good, i'll admit, but it was a sample given me by an Indian who cannot make anything better. We have other Indians who are much better at this work and I am sure they could make baskets to meet your requirements. If your prices are a little better than here, I am sure they would be glad to make any amount.
