Gentlemen,

Re: No. 8349 - "Portrait of Comte Chaptal," Painting by Baron Gros.
No. 8350 Statue in Wax representing Louis XIV on Horseback
No. 8351 Bronze Statue, representing Bonaparte.

We refer further to your letter of July 5th, and our reply of July 8th, and would now report receipt of fuller descriptive detail of items Nos. 8351 (Bronze Statue) and No. 8350 (Statue in Wax). 

In the case of No. 8350 we have agreed a rate of 20 cents.% in accordance with Cover terms. 

The information furnished by Ets. Lucien Lefebvre-Foinet shows this piece to be rather delicate in character, and special steps must be taken to protect it in every possible way against damage during transit. 

No provision was made in your Contract for items in Wax and because of the special circumstances connected with this item which has projecting parts, Underwriters were calling for a rate of $5% which they deemed to be appropriate in the circumstances. We were, however, able to persuade them to reduce this rate to a level of $4% on this particular item, and our charge note is enclosed herewith, together with usual Deposit Form for $160.12. 

Yours faithfully,
for and on behalf of
McKAY MORANT & CO. LTD.

Director.
