Mr J W Stow

D Sir,

I find on inquiry that
Hookers agent did call sometime after the goods
were shipped & requested us to let the goods
go forward. With the exception of "Gillig Mott
&Co", We have sold no locks to Cal@ for the past
6 mos. while the Norwalk Locks are shipping
largely we know. If this is legitimate all
right, but we suspect it is the terms
they give there that takes the orders, which
they point us to our branch as the cause
