28. Forty-seven (47) letters were received during the year from firms and individuals, principally in Great Britain, asking for information upon various points in connection with their business, requesting me to place them in communication with local firms, or to obtain local agents for the sale of their goods, or submitting samples or price lists.
My replies have been as full as the information and time at my disposal permitted, and my negotiations have, I understand, been productive, in many cases, of desired effects.
