Summary: Two letters: The first, dated November 10th, 1910, acknowledges receipt of correspondence and materials regarding a Colombian stamp design, notes the loss of the order due to delays, and mentions that Child & Co. will no longer act in the matter. The second, dated November 16th, 1910, informs G.R. Calderon that the Colombian Centenary stamp issue will not be permanent, that Child & Co. are no longer representing the sender, and that a new agency may be sought, though there is mention of a government favorite, likely from the American Banknote Co.
