Sig. Ing. Tito Ricordi
Director of the Workshops. City
With the end of this month, our 1890-91 fiscal year comes to a close. It is therefore absolutely necessary that all outstanding charges to outside clients be resolved. The most important of them regards the Ditta Erba, which has been suspended for several months, resulting in a notable loss our Administration has had to bear due to the uncollected payment of substantial sums, for which quite a few months of interest have been lost. It is therefore urgent to determine the charge and set it down, and we invite this hon. Office of the Director to see to it right away. We recommend the same be done for all other printing jobs, so that the bills can be sent prompty and the balance of payments collected by the end of the month.
Also, we were surprised to see the enclosed response to a request regarding 94357!!.... and we find it inexplicable that because of a title page a piece must wait 8 or 9 months!! – Not only does this place one of our company affiliates in an embarrassing position, but it puts off foreign composers, who protest and no longer want to entrust their works to our Company. Therefore, please see to it by any means that the title page is done, without attempting experiments that require nearly a year: if necessary, it can be done in corpore vili, that is to say with any illustration, in order to avoid a damaging delay.
Trusting completely in your diligence, we extend our best regards.
