Pear Sir,
” r i th reference t 0 v 0 ur telephone ecnmiir^
regarding the Turkish Postage Stamps for Hes 6 potamia
cLb explained to your ?Ir. Garrett. v?e hare been unable
^...iiicrease^our monthly; deliveries in accordance^with
* ^ lir ^ er of September 20th., because we ha.ve not
been able to print up this additional cuantitv on
account of the delay we have had in securing the
necessary paper. 7/e held up the last monthlv sMoment
to Baghdad, hoping that we should be able to increase
it in accordance with your instructions, but we are
unfortunately unable to do so. As arranged, we sre x
nor proposing to send forward by parcels noat immediatelv
after chrl^s, as many stampsas.ve can/and b^The'^
middle of January will make another shipment, bringing us
exactly up to date as regards the months of Bece iber and
January, including the increase. You can rest assured
tiiat after that date the monthly consignments will go
forward the early part of every month. We regret very
much the delay that has taken place, but as already stated,
we have been very handicapped by the difficulty we* have
had in securing the paper.
You will recall that you wrote us on the 7th. of
October, Ko.P6047, instructing us to order paper on the
assumption that the present monthly arrangement would
continue until the 31st. of March of next year. We would
be glad to know rt your convenience whether any more stamps
for Mesopotamia will be reoaired after that date as ■ ? ' p so
we should like to place orders for paper
avoid all delays whoa we come to print.
Yours faithfully,
ibis time and so
