Summary: This page contains two letters from P & B. to John Parkinson, dated 11th and 12th January 1848. The first letter provides a price estimate for producing cheques for Coutts & Co, including details on engraving, printing, numbering, and binding. The second letter discusses the difficulty in estimating the cost for cutting adhesive postage label stamps, noting uncertainties about machinery and labor requirements, and suggests waiting until the process can be observed before fixing a price.
