Dear Sir:-

Please pardon this intrusion. We want to thank you for your kind
order of the basketball squad picture which came to us via your
secretary.

We don't know whether you know it or not, but the War has brought
quite a change to the photography business. Photopraphic materials
and supplies are rationed on a very restricted basis and some of the
items are not obtainable at all. To make matters worse, we are
informed that things will grow worse as we go along.

Our experience has shown that in many cases people failed to

call for pictures after they had ordered them and in numerous
instances, efter they had paid for them. However, for the purpoge
of clarifying matters, let us assure you thatwone of these incidents
were experienced with you -- or yours. But, since some people become
absent minded, careless or neglectful - whatever you wish to eall it,
we found it necessary to adopt a rule to make only those pictures
whieh are paid for when ordered. This rule is not being applied in
the case of your basketball squad pictures. Although you secretary
informed the undersigned that about 24 copies are desired by those
in the group, we have made 20 of them and they are now ready. As
soon as this number is exhausted, more will be mde.

We hate to trouble you with these personal problems of ours for no
doubt you have plenty of your own to content with.

In closing, may we take this opportunity to tell you how grateful we
are for your efforts to send business our way?

It has been @ genuine pleasure to serve yous

Cordially yours,
