James R. Harris letter to P.B. Brill - April 16, 1919
Transcript
F office Sunday Lake April 16, 1919 Mr. P.B. Brill, The Lake Torpedo Boat Co., Bridgeport, [Connecticut] Dear Mr. Brill: Enclosed you will find confirmations of telegram sent you April 15th and your reply received this morning, both with reference to our visiting Washington next Monday regarding contract for main engines for Submarines "S-48" to "S-51". I know we will both be very much relieved if we can finally get the contract matter settled and I believe that if properly presented to the right parties in Washington, they will see the justice of our contention that a new contract should be entered into and your order for the engines, dated [October] 28th, which was not accepted by our Company, should be canceled. Thanking you very much for your prompt reply to my telegram, I remain Yours very truly, 1st V.P. & Gen. Mgr. JBH-C
