Dear Sir,

 

Thank you very much for your letter of the 27th May, which we regret to say we did not answer earlier.

 

We do not think we would be purchasers of the copies of Roger Fry's woodcuts, as you suggest.

 

With many thanks for offering them to us.

 

Yours faithfully, | ERNEST BROWN & PHILLIPS LTD. | Oliver F Brown [signature] | Director.
