Dear Sirs,

　　Your letter of the 5th March came to hand yesterday.

　　Accordingly, we have lost no time in getting in touch with your factories and urged them to hasten their delivery. Owing to heavy commitments, they cannot advance delivery from June to April but they understand perfectly that July is the selling season for shirts in your market. They eventually agree to make delivery in mid-May.

　　We have booked the shipping space on s.s Dong feng, which is scheduled to sail on or about the 20th of May. We shall cable you as soon as the loading is completed.

　　Yours faithfully,

　　China National Textiles I/E Corp.

　　XXXX Garments Branch

先生：

　　三月五日来函昨日收到。

　　据此，我们立即与厂方联系，催促他们赶快交货。由于交货任务繁重，他们不能由六月份提前到四月份交货，但是，他们非常清楚七月份是您方市场衬衣的销售季节。故最终同意五月中旬交货。

　　我们已订妥“东风轮”的舱位，预计五月二十日左右开航。一俟装货完毕，当即电告。
