Dear Mr Whistler
I suppose silence in your case does not mean consent!
With regard to the "Fire wheel[2]" I would buy it right out at £500. but that is the most I regret I can go. & I must say that I do not consider it an unfair price for me to give.
Trusting you are enjoying the best of health [p. 2] & with kindest regards to yourself & Mrs Whistler[3] -
Yours faithfully
Alex Reid.
