Dear Sirs,

Your claim of August 20th in connection with the inferior quality of the goods shipped by s.s. Volga has been given our careful attention.

We have carefully studied the matter and admit that the quality of the goods is somewhat inferior to that of the sample on the basis of which we concluded the contract.

We are ready to meet your claim, but we consider tire compensation off... too high, as the difference in quality is very slight. We agree to pay to you £... as compensation for the substandard goods.

Dear Sirs,

We are forced to ask for your cooperation in respect of making amendments in shipment dates on our orders. Contract 137/125 stipulates that you are to deliver

the first lot of guitars by the 1 st December and the second lot early in the New Year. However we

now realize that if the first lot does not reach us by the 20 ^th November we shall fail to distribute the goods among our customers and consequently we may suffer losses. On the other hand we would ask you to postpone shipment of the second lot as there is great uncertainty over the government import charge. We assure you that this will be an exception and this forced delay will be cut to the absolute minimum.

Your cooperation would be appreciated.

Yours faithfully
