Dear Dr, Allen:

We have your letter of October 8th with reference
to cur charge for 40 months rental on cylinder #25995.

You will no doubt realize that the thousands of
cylinders in the service of our customers represent a tremendous
investment and that when they are net returned promptly, we must
purchase additional ones to replace them, in order to fill our
orders,

; Ordinarily, cylinders are returned within 90 days
and if you look up the invoice on the cylinder in question, you
will find that the terms included a rental charge of 50¢ per
month after the first 120 days.

We are citing this merely to show you the reasonable~-
ness of this charge and that according to the terms of sale, it is
in order, We also appreciate your position in the matter and note
whet you say with reference to Mr. McCain's visit with you and we
are today instructing our Accounting Department to cancel this
charge which we trust will take care of the matter to your entire

satisfaction.

Yours very truly,
THE MATHIESON ALKALI WORKS (INC.)
