Dear Sir
Can you supply us now the balance of the Copper? We are now out. We need only a small portion of the last order for 20,000 pounds. If not on hand please order it down.
We need the balance of the Scotch Pig we have on order for 10,000 pounds & have received Five thousand. Since the rect of that lot, we have made 10,000 of the small projectiles.
Yrs Truly
J. R. Anderson & Co.
