Dear Sir:

Your favor of the 8th inst to hand.

Photonegative arrived at our office this A.M. broken into a number of
pieces the enclosed roughed-out will show how the box was broken, the
boards being so thin that the expressmen must have put something heavy
on it + thus broken it in.

We would advise bracing thus [illustration] brace mail on lip crosswise
in about center of box.

Please let us know what you will do i.e. are we to expect another
negative-

Hoping to hear from you-
We remain-
