Dear Sirs,

I am urgently requiring orchestral music paper from 36 to 40 staves, and am writing to ask you whether you can oblige me with some. Enclosed I am sending you a sample of the paper I am requiring to point out the width between the staves. If you would let me have a few samples of the paper you have on hand I would then let you know by return of post which will suit me best as well as the amount I shall be requiring.

Trusting you will see your way to fulfilling my request.

Yours truly

Albert Coates

Mus. Dir. Covent Garden Opera
