Messrs Chance Brothers write -
"We regret that we can only make an offer for the
"gunmetal portion of this apparatus at scrap price, and
"probably as good a price could be obtained in Hong
"Kong; we would point out that as the apparatus has
"been in use for over 25 years, the optical portion is
"probably slightly discoloured, and would for this
"reason be unsaleable.
I have the honour to be
Sir
Your Obedient Servant
Malamern.
