Dear Sir,

Mr Wallace says he would like to have his diagrams redrawn.3 Would you kindly, therefore, let me know what your charge for this would be? Please put it as low as possible. Mr Wallace says "So far as the lines go, they might be "copied by some process, but in that case "the writing & figures should be done" again. Of course this is equivalent to redrawing.

Please return the diagrams with your estimate, as there are several additions to be made, as we have rubbed out some pencil marks which should have been inked in!

Yours truly | Swan Sonnenschein & Co[mpany]. L[imi]t[e]d.

F. C. Tilman Esq[uire].4
