for the [[underlined]] F B [[/underlined]] - If our books are as good as [[underlined]] B & B [[/underlined]] they are confident they are better - we want you to do all in your power for them [[insertion]] in preference to any other [[/insertion]] & wish you could advise us how to work them - 

Do you expect to stay in yr present position - we are going in to the school book buissness very largely & before you make a new engagement - perhaps we c- make it to [[underlined]] yr [[/underlined]] personal interests to do something with us   advise

Yrs truly
