We regret that it is impossible to make a double

dating embossing die as small as your sketch at side.

The design submitted by our memo. of 12th. inst., was con-

tracted to the uttermost, and only just allowed sufficient

space for the shank to the die and the shoulders to the

date plugs.

We enclose a memorandum to Messrs De La Rue Co.

(dated 18th. inst.,) and their reply, explaining their

reasons for not being able to make a small double dating

embossing die.

With regard to the suggestion in your letter of the

17th. inst., we do not find it advisable in matte's of

such importance as stamp work to employ more than one firm.
