Browning, Browning Company, es bnelosed is I realize that we want to be both safe and shall write you just would take similar to those copy of letter to Mr. Rafter itself, practical about this situation soon as 1 hear from Rafter, and I realize at a saving of $7.25 encountered in our each that to equal costs re-appraisment case, it but at the further several same as guns we time, we can safely save this $7.25 per gun, ($5.00 invoice plus 45% $5.00), feel that we should do so -- and I am sure you ATES, if of L also realize that we want to have our setup waterproof, otherwise competitors could cause us continued annoyance, however, if Schade is right about the necessity of such possible annoyance coming first from the local Appraiser's office, feel that we are on fairly safe ground, providing, of course, our present friendly relations continue, In view of our unfortunate experience in the re-appraisment case, I realize it is rather difficult for you to appreciate the co-operative attitude of the local Customs office and I can see how you would naturally fear that this co-operation could be exaggerated and may become dangerous, I feel, however, that if you were familiar with local conditions, you would feel differently about it, Furthermore, I am inclined to think that our relationship with Markle contributed to the suspicion which prompted developments that resulted in our former difficulties, I hope you do not feel that I am getting reckless or that I do not appreciate that we must be conservative and safe, however, if we can be both and at the same time save on the deal, it is well worth investigating, at least. With kind regards, Sinéerdly, )
