Dear Sir,
We are surprised to receive a furtlier report from

‘‘Referring to our previous correspondence, our
Bahrein Branch inform us under date of the 23rd
April that they regret that have been unaole to
obtain payment of this Bill, although the^Drawee
repeatedly promised payment thereagainat*"
This refers to our shipment dated July last
^11-0-3, which you specially promised the Bank you would P 8 /*
7e regret you have not fulfilled this promise andin the meantime
our Bankers are pressing us for definite instruct iono Be ore
taking this extreme step, we should like to give you the
opportunity of settling the matter and thus avoiaing
inconvenience with the Bank and other troubles jiihichwoulu arise
if firmer measures were taken. There is only c.11-0-3 a
stake and we do not think you would wish to prejudice
trade, by having it protested and subsequently full procedu
reported toBhe authorities, with a view to stopping a repetxtion
of this* If you cannot pay all at once, the Benk^would accept
25$ instalments and if we saw you were making a definite- attempt

Please give same your immediate attention to avoid any
inaonvenience.
Yours truly.
