After the destructive Fire at our Offices this morning,
the Books and Papers deposited in the IthmsrEn's SAFI;

by Fire, whilst those contained in a strong Iron Safe and
Drawers standing beside it, were completely destroyed.
We will accordingly thank you to supply us with.
another SAFE of the same size (No. 4) and description

Your obedient servants,
J. and W. WALKER.
