Dear Sir,

I would be pleased if you would
kindly let me know at what figure you
can make for us some pasteboard boxes.
We wish them so made that they will
fit nicely into wooden trays which we
shall use for in our cases. The interior
dimensions of these trays are about 18 3/8" x 27 1/2"
We desire the boxes of such sizes that four
of the largest size will fit nicely into one
of the trays, and so that two of each of the
other sizes will fit nicely into one of the
next larger size. We wish the boxes to be
of varying heights or depths from 1/2" to 3" and to
have covers. The covers must be of a depth
equal to that of the boxes and so made
that they will fit snugly over the boxes
and come down flush with the bottom of
the boxes. As I figure it we would want
six different sizes, each being twice that of
the next smaller size. I would like
an estimate on about 8000 of such
boxes about as follows
