I see nothing they can do or continue with to have new dies new Rolld Plates new Blanks & to begin from the beginning again in that case I should make no scruple were I in your situation & demand the cost of my dies of my Rolling & Cutting Blanks to waste & the maintenance of my coiners all this realy stated at the cost without any profit may be most honorably made by you & cannot with either justice or prudence be [indecipherable].
