Summary: This page contains a letter addressed to J.P. Segg & Company in response to an enquiry about printing lithographic postage stamps. The sender, S.S. McAnnen, explains the difficulty in providing a reliable quotation without full details but offers an approximate price based on previous contracts. The letter also notes that producing such large quantities of lithographic stamps has not been done in the country before and the process is not recommended.
