Messrs. DOBSON  Co.,
LONDON,

15th January 2001

THE ANCHOR FOOTWEAR Co. LTD,

NORTHAMPTON.

Dear Sirs,

We have to acknowledge receipt of the goods as set out in your invoice number 6253, dated 12th January, and thank
you for your prompt attention to our order.

We notice with some surprise, however, that you have omitted one line from our order, namely, 3 doz.
Men’s Suede casuals at £ 3.75 per pair. This happens to be the one item of which we are in urgent need.
We have several unexecuted orders for these shoes on hand, and we hope that delivery will not be long delayed.

Yours faithfully,
GEORGE DOBSON.
