Professor of

the University,
Heidelberg, Germany.

Dear Sir,
four esteemed letter of yesterday's date, addressed from
Heidelberg to Hr. A-W. Rider, is duly to hand. As this gentlemen
has left the services of this Company, we take upon ourselves to
answer your queries.
We notice that you ask for a camera for the purposes of an
expedition, and at once we will say that we can supply you with
the best oods that can be manufactured, but we could not for one
loment think of guaranteeing anything. Were we to do so, it is
possible that in one year or more, we should be called upon and
reprimanded severely for having supplied some material which has not
yielded the results the owners thereof expected. As we would not
take upon ourselves the responsibility therefore of sending you an
outfit, we send you under another cover our Catalogue, and draw
your attention to the series of Rulls-Eye Kodak cameras, particularly
the Ho. 4. You will notice that this series of cameras can be
loaded and unloaded in daylight, by means of our daylight
cartridges. The price of the cartridges is also given, and you
will he able to decide just how many cartridges you will have sent.
We should recommend that you should have a leather case to carry
the camera in, and the films should be put into a tin box, as it is
scarcely fair to expect that they should stand knocking about in
partially civilised countries, which we know very little about.
If you would send us a cheque along with your order, we
should be further obliged.
Yours obediently,

The Eastman Photo Materials Co. Ltd.
