I request that twenty thousand rounda be obtained and
enclose 5 cartridges as asaraplc.
The present stock of this arinunition was purcSia^ed from
Societe Jrancaise des I-tunitions d« Chasse, de Tir and de sta
Guerre, 50 Haa Hotre Da&e des Tlctoir^as, Paris and I attach
herewith the label cf one paekst of the armauniticn in question.
I would mention that perhaps it would pay to ship to
the makers the present stock of anrmnifcion as the lead and mzm
cases are valuable also the chargers. If however this cannot
be arranged 1 would arrange to dump then in the sea.
Chargers are not necessary as the whole SO,000 rounds
will be required for mashing guns.
