Summary: This page is a continuation of a letter from P.B. & Co, Ltd. discussing the history of printing banknotes for a bank, the loss of their business, and a comparison of their pricing and services with those of Bradbury, Wilkinson & Co (now part of the American Banknote Company). The letter references the year 1896 when the banknote design was changed and offers to produce notes at a lower cost, emphasizing the benefits of using British manufacturers.
