Four Centuries Shop Pear Sire: I have your favor of Larch 10th with estimate for the chairs and I am enclosing copy duly signed as requ :stet. I hope that you :ill proceed with this work now and ship it to me as uickly as possibly via the ,ewtex Steamship Copary out of New York to Houston, Texas, and fro Houston by truck to Galveston, all of which can be done. Failing: this, however, send it by New York Central Railway Company. You failed, however, to Arve me a value of these two chairs in the condition in irhich you received there or a value of the chairs when complAted. I am anxious for this because two of those chairs were lost by a transportation company and I want to file claim r with tic transportation coipan y or the insurance cor any. Please let me have this valuation. Yours truly, 22 Enzcl.
