Dear Mr. Allen:

Thank you for your letter of November 9th regarding the
turkish towels that we have been privileged to sell you in
the past two months. It was a real pleasure to servefou and
we sincerely hope that we can continue to merit your patronage.

You state in your letter that the towels do not seem to
absorb moisture very rapidly. This is due to a sizing material
that is put on the yarn in order to make it weave up smoothly.
You will realize that if cotton yarns did not have any sizing
in, a starchy material, they would be very frothy and you would
have lint considerably evident in the manufacture. Therefore,
we put in a sizing material that permits the yarn to be woven
up smoothly and this will wash out after one or two trips to
the laundry. I am sure that you will have no more difficulty
with the towels after they have gone through the laundry a couple
of times.

You realize, of course,that these towels are delivered in
the unshrunk size. After all possible shrinkage has taken place,
they will measure the size that we quoted when we sold you the
towels.

Please bear in mind, Mr. Allen, that it would be a good idea
to look into an additional purchase of towels for your school.
We do not want to crowd you on this matter, but we do know that
our delivery situation is very tight here, and it will be necessary
to look ahead into the future a couple of months in order to have
the towels when you want them. Please bear this in mind.

My best personal regards to you, Mr. Allen.
Yours very truly,

GEORGE McARTHUR AND SONS
