Summary: This letter acknowledges receipt of a request for a quotation on the production of postage stamps in four denominations, similar to a Canadian specimen. It details the costs for engraving, plate production, and printing, and discusses the impracticality of combining all denominations on one plate. The letter also mentions the return of a Canadian stamp specimen and provides additional information on charges for new plates.
