Summary: This letter from J. E. Wood & Co. to G.R. Calderon discusses the pricing and production details for Colombian stamps, including considerations for quantities, plate costs, and paper types. The correspondence clarifies the price differences between one-colour and two-colour stamps, and addresses logistical issues with watermarked paper versus plain paper. The letter also mentions pricing for registration stamps and postcards, and expresses hope that Calderon's friend will secure the order.
