Dear Sir
By a letter I received from my friend in Hong Kong last week I am daily expecting the order for the cement grinding plant by telegram. I have this morning another letter dated June 23rd asking me to send a large sample of Thames clinker - as they contemplate going into it on a large scale, and want to make sure the clinker will make good cement, as they will be building a large wall first.
If you like to give me a call, I shall be happy to show you all correspondence. Please therefore send at once, or as soon as possible the barrel of clinker.
