Replying to your card of the 12th inst.

We regret to state that we are unable to furnish

We have searched our files for a print of this Cabinet, but regret to
state that we are unable to furnish one as we have no prints of this
pattern on hand and the negative has been destroyed.

Regretting our inability to serve you, we are,

Yours very truly,
