D McIntyre Esq re

Dear Sir
I am sorry to hear of your lose (loss) through the Brandon Bank and beg to offer you my sympathy.
I have no cheaper machine than the one you have at least I should say none that I could sell cheaper as I put that machine to you at the price of the cheapest machine.
I send you the black wrench herewith, there is no such thing as a needle set, the needle is simply put in the needle bar and pushed up as high as it will go the only care necessary is to get the long grove in the needle towards the back of the machine or the band wheel. Trusting the Bank Suspension will prove only temporary, I remain

Your respectfully
CH Seymour
