Dear Sir, 
We duly received your favour of the 8th March, with sample 
of rubber grown from Para seed. There are fair quantities of similar 
rubber beginning to come from Ceylon, and they find a ready 
market. The sample which you send us, seems to us of very good 
quality, tho’ perhaps a trifle “ tacky,” which, however, may be due 
to the way in which the sample has been sent, and may not be the 
case m bulk. In to-day’s market, which is a good one, we should 
think a parcel of this rubber would fetch from 4s. 3^. to 4s. $d. per lb., 
and our idea of the immediate future of the article, anyhow 
until next autumn, being a favorable one, we don’t think that a 
shipment on the basis of our valuation will lead to disappointment. 
As you have found our address, we need not tell you that we are 
amongst the largest rubber dealers and importers -in Europe, and 
have special facilities for judging the markets and finding ready 
outlets. We are quite prepared to receive consignments, make 
advances, etc. 
Awaiting the pleasure of hearing from you, 
We remain, dear Sir, 
Yours truly, 
HECHT, LEVIS & KAHN.
