Dear Sirs,

etc We will do our best to find you something suitable but of course there
are not a great number of these boats about, we will not fail to wire you
immediately we have something to offer.
“ Lincoln.” As we wrote you w 7 e expected this boat would soon be in the
market, and we w 7 ere advised by letter today from the owners that the price is
£5 000. As she is now advertised for private sale by the owners, we thought
it advisable to wire you the price they are asking, and also her position as no
time should be lost. We have written Mr. Himmmghoffen and sent him
details. Of course we think that less money will be accepted for her, so that
if she is of interest you will no doubt let Mr. Himminghoffen know. We are
inclined to think that she will not remain long in the market especially as she
is advertised, but you have the price before you. v ‘
Yours faithfully,
