10300 REC. READ 3 MAR 16

Dear Sir,

We are much obliged for your favour of the 1st March -Ref-9244/1916-- in reply to which we beg to state that the facts of the case are exactly as you understand them.

The documents for our open claim were negotiated through various banks, one of them being the Deutsche Asiatic Bank, as per copy which we sent you in our letter of the 24th February.

Messrs. Boodiker & Co., of Hamburg were always in the habit of drawing cheques against these credits, and forwarding the same to us for payment of our invoices. Through the outbreak of the War, cheques never reached us, and therefore the various banks could simply have acted as agents for collection. They received the respective monies from the Liquidator, against the documents, but could not have parted with it to Boodiker & Co., for reasons stated above.

At the same time, we are quite willing, in case payment could be now made, to give Bankers' guarantee for repayment, if any part of our claim should be found to be not in order.

We should be very pleased to give you any further explanations if necessary, and thank you for your support in the matter.

We remain,

Your obedient servants,

Ferd. Heilborn & Co.
