October 25th 1876
Dear Ralph,
Mr Taylor wishes me to state that all his blocks, stones &c are his own property and that he does not pay for drawings until the proprietership of such is settled in that way.
In the estimate you sent the charges are much higher than that for the lithos a copy of which he sent you. For them he pays £3.3.0. per M - They are worked off by steam power. Send us an estimate per M with tint on cardborrdand on plate pater printed by steam.
He must purchase the stones or transfers on settlement of which point he will forward the money. He also asks me to state that he must know at once or he will have to order more of his old lithos.
Telegrapgh reply on receipt of this and oblige. Believe me
Yours Truly
P. Matthews
