The 2 Froriep machines for the bending of various kinds of sheet
metal from our boiler workshop at Belfort were placed at your disposal by order
of the Armament Inspectorate at Dijon and dispatched to your Rheinhausen plant
in part consignments — on 30 April, 15 May, 16 May, and 23 May 1941.
We should like to know whether you want to buy the machines or
only borrow them. In either case, we should very much like to have these
questions settled at an early date.
We should also be grateful if you
would send a representative who could conduct these
negotiations. |

Very truly yours,
