Although not completely recovered I am getting along pretty well, so there is very good hope I can push forward my work- In a near future I hope to be able to deliver another dozen of your castings – and so on- Enclosed you will find a bill for the work done already- Waiting to know how you found the Indians delivered and if you were satisfied I remain. Yours truly B. Zoppo
