October 18, 1957 Dear Sir Alec, I am sorry to bother you with the following matter but having written to your firm on April 23rd and not having received an answer, I thought you would not mind my asking you to request the responsible party to send me this information, namely:- On March First, 1956, for catalogue subscription and air mail postage my firm received an invoice of £2.16.6 (two pounds, sixteen sh. six). This year for the same purpose the invoice amounted to £9.2.6 (nine pounds, two sh. six). I am anxious of course to settle this bill but were it possible I would like to know what causes such a difference between the two years. I am not objecting to the charge you will understand. I am also enclosing herein, a check of £0.15.0 (fifteen shillings) in settlement of your firm's invoice of September 20th, 1957, Now that this matter is off my mind, let me tell you how very happy I was to see you here a little while ago, particularly looking so well and fit, and how much I appreciate your dropping in, in spite of your short stay and heavy schedule. With kind thoughts, Sincerely yours, Germain Seligman ^[[GS]] Sir Alec Martin Christie, Manson & Woods, Ltd. 8 King Street, St. James's London S.W.1, England Enclosure: Check No.L10918 on Morgan Grenfell & Co.
