Summary: J. B. Bacon, writing by order of the Commissioners of Inland Revenue from Somerset House, discusses the production of new Life Policy plates. He refers to a previous letter and proposes reducing the number of new plates to four, asking if the recipient's firm will make them for £40, using existing dies where possible.
