Sir.

With reference to your letter of the 25th which unintentionally was overlooked – we find that Jasminum dicentrifolium, was omitted to be crossed through by our clerk at the time we wrote, the error being entirely ours, we have in your a/c in our books deducted that plant from the Invoice – regretting the mistake which we trust may be kindly overlooked,

We beg to remain Sir Your very obt Servts
