Dear Sir:

SAN FRANCISCO 

MONTREAL 

Replying to your letter ot December 18, in reference 

to the #16 dropper filler type Waterman's fountain pen sent to us, 

wish to state that your holder can.not be threaded and a cap with 

threads cannot be supplied. 

our quotation covers the cost ot a plain slip on cap 

at -- $ .60. 

Regarding the pen point, in order to insure a proper 

flow of ink a gold pen of the correct size and style should be 

supplied. You no doubt will recall that the pen point in your 

holder was size #5, whereas the proper size is #6. 

However, it you simply wish to have a Plain cap or 

clip cap supplied, we will be pleased to give that attention 

at the price quoted in our letter.
