Dear Sir:
We have been making castings for the City of Richmond for
some time, at a price prevailing a good while ago, notwithstand-
ing the excessive cost and the great increase in material as
well as labor. ' We find therefore that in the future it is not
- possible for us to continue making castings at the old price,and
therefore from now on, any castings furnished the City would be
at Seven ( 7 ) Cents ($ .07 ) per pound instead of the price as here-
tofore.
Yours truly,
• Swayne, Robinson & Co.
