            Dear Sir:  We are about ready to make shipment of your order №
            7270 for eighteen sheets of grade № 1008
            semihard red sheet rubber.

            May we, however, point
            out to you that the G. S. & A. Company has recently
            abandoned the use of the semihard red rubber, and is
            now specifying grade № 2008 semihard black
            rubber on all jobs formerly requiring grade №
            1008.

            As the red rubber requires the importation of
            special raw materials that are difficult to obtain, and as your yearly
            requirements will undoubtedly be small, we should be glad to know
            whether you can hereafter specify the semihard black
            rubber instead of the red rubber on your orders.

            If you will make the change suggested, it will greatly
            facilitate our work, as well as insure prompter shipment
            of your rubber orders in the future.  Yours very truly,

            [154 words]
