[underlined] Your Ref. C.D./BV. 15270 [/underlined]

Dear Sir,

With further reference to your letter of the 10th March and following my letter of the 13th March, I shall be glad to fear when I may expect to receive the personal effects of my son, 130598 A/F/L. Fry H.L., also have you been able to trace the “empty Dark Blue [inserted] Hide [/inserted] Leather case with straps”, in lieu of the “empty Black case” mentioned in your list of effects.

Your kind attention in due course will be appreciated.

Yours faithfully,

Leonard Fry
