Dear Sirs,

In regard to EMPIRE & COMMERCE IN AFRICA I am afraid that it is impossible for us, as publishers, to take the position of a retail bookseller, so that after we have exhausted the present supply of this book which we now have ON SALE we shall be forced, in view of your being unable to supply at a lower rate, to refer all orders to you and to remove it from our catalogue.

Yours faithfully, | B.N. Langdon-Davies [signature] | Managing Director.
