Show Liege, Belgiun, June 20th, 1923. No.1 @ Mr. JM. Browning, Hartford, Conn. Dear Daddy, with F.N. $16 per I on gun received your telegram telling me to close the basis of the prices I wired you, viz, to us, and the European wholesale price being in Mareh(I have not 320 franes. I can not close with F.N. until the return of Mr. Joassart, who has been in Servia for several weeks, and is expecte€ back soon. I will give you all particulars aS $00n as he returns. been able 1000 of I learned that to exact the get 16 ga. the some shotguns, time date as to yet) be Remington delivered as ordered soon as possible. Stassart is getting all the details for me, but it seems that about 200 of the guns have been delivered, and the rest are past due. I served notice on Nepper this morning in a conversation I had with him, that no more of the guns were to be delivered to Remington. He said that I had given my consent to the fulfilment of the order when I was here before, but I pointed out that as I left in December, and the oréer was not given until hands and more later, that it would have been impossible for me to have given my consent. He said he would have to look into the question, but they had made arrangements for me to go to Paris to See Commanant Reymond tomorrow, and I told Mr. Nepper that I would not leave whthout assurance from him that no more guns would be shipped. I told him that I would take all the thousand they that were not marked with a great many barrels may in be guns thatwe a hurry.’I off could think already marked Antwerp, deliveries, their take them however should be too, provided the Remington Name. I understand have already been marked, but it anyway in order to get that, if remarked possible the in order avoid also results to guns barrels possible complications with Remington. You can see what a slick deal Remington tried to put over, and I am glad if I have been abie to nip it in the bud. Write me what. you think about taking the guns marked Remington. As soon as possib le, I will wire you concerning prices laid down on the boat at and the of my invét igation of the Remington order. I think that I have clearl y not gone beyond our. rights in positively forbidding further deliveries. It occured to me that we might let them deliver the guns and then go after Rem. for royalt ies, but that seems rather too doubtful of ultimate SUCCESS e a |
