            Dear sir: Kindly wire me immediately how many kinds of
            files you have on hand and also the number of each kind,
            in units of one thousand that you expect to use during the
            year.  I am planning to buy whatever we need right away
            before the market goes any higher.  We must not be caught
            without enough filing supplies to carry us through the year.
            You will recall that a year ago we could not fill
            several orders because of an error in our report. Yours truly,

            Dear sir: several received your complaint regarding the employing of James
            Smith as buyer, but you give none of the details
            upon which you base your claims.  Why do you not put your side of the
            question in writing?

            We appointed Mr. Smith the other night
            and gave him power to appoint as many helpers
            as he needs to handle the duties of his office.  We shall
            await your answer before taking any further steps.  Yours truly,
