Messrs J.L. Sands & Son

Dear Sirs

I thought that the quality of brick wanted by me was fully understood in our converstion a few days ago. It would appear however from there you had delivered that it is not the case, and I wish to say now in the outset that I want you to leave one good hard brick or to consider the order as void.

If you find you have taken the job too low, you are at liberty to throw it up, but if you continue to furnish I shall expect to have what I ask for.

I have directed that no receipts for brick be given to your teamsters until I have had an opportunity to examine for myself. I shall direct out men to buy none which are poor.

Yours truly J.W. Lovering Supt.
