Summary: Letter from PERKINS, BACON & Co. Ltd. to Sir Arthur Chapman regarding his proposal about the Mexican Stann Contract. The company declines to incur a present outlay of £100 due to uncertainty about securing the new contract in 1911, but expresses willingness to pay commission on results. They mention Mr. Heath is available for further discussion if Chapman has additional suggestions, and discuss arrangements regarding specimens and travel to Mexico City.
