Messrs. CROSSE & BLACKWELL much regret that for the first time for a hundred years war conditions prevent many of their products being shipped to India. They much appreciate the letters they are receiving and in reply would state that it is fully recognised here that ander the circumstances of life in India the absence of English delicacies and foods is a very real hardship. It is one of the Anglo-Indians little bits" in the war, Messrs. CROSSE & BLACKWELL will take care that not a day shall be lost in forwarding supplies when a return to more 'normal_conditions permits. In the meantime they trust that those who have been accustomed to rely on their products will be good enough, to accept this explanation.
