[ James Galt & Co. Ltd., Manchester booksellers. ] Typed Note to E. Vale of Nant Ffrancon, signed on behalf of the firm by B. E. Stevenson, regarding books ordered, on elaborate coloured letterhead.

1p., 4to. In good condition. The large and unusual letterhead is the point of interest: it is roughly 17 x 11.5 cm, and mostly taken up with an illustration, printed in red, yellow, green, blue, orange and black, depicting an idealised scene in a Victorian bookseller's shop, with a young lady with bonnet and parasol, two schoolboys in top hats with Eton collars and a bespectackled master in mortar board and robes, the last of whom is examining a book shown to him by an elderly bookseller. At head of letterhead: 'ROYAL WARRANT GRANTED BY QUEEN VICTORIA | ESTABLISHED 1836 | EDUCATIONAL BOOKSELLERS . PUBLISHERS AND SCHOLASTIC STATIONERS'. Stevenson updates Vale on the status of his order, which includes 'Chantry Chapels', 'Auto Nomad', and 'the new books on the Industrial Revolution by Ashton published by the Oxford University Press'.
