     Thank you for your letter of July 5 enclosing specification and plan 
for a solid fuel central heating system at the above address.  We should be 
glad to carry out the work for a total of 360, with a 2 discount allowance 
for settlement within one month of the date of our account.  We can promise 
to complete all work by the end of August if we receive your instructions 
by the end of this month.  We would stress that the price quoted is based 
on present costs of materials and labour.  Should these costs rise we would 
have to add the increased costs to our price.
     We have installed many similar heating systems in your area.  Our 
reputation for highclass work is well known, but if you would like to 
inspect one of our recent installations before deciding to accept our 
estimate, we would try to arrange this for you.  If, as we hope, you are 
satisfied with the price quoted, please let us have your instruction soon.  
This would help us in making our other arrangements.
     Tenders are invited for the supply to the Council's power station 
at Bamford, during the year 1994 of approximately 2,000 tons of best qua-
lity furnace coke, delivered in quantities as required.  Tenders must be 
submitted on the official form obtainable from County Hall to reach the 
Clerk of the Council not later than 900 noon on Friday, the 30th of June.  
The council do not bind themselves to accept the lowest, or any, of the 
tenders submitted.  Having read the terms and conditions in the official 
form supplied by you, I enclose my tender for the supply of coke to the 
Bamford power station during 1944 and shall be glad to learn that it has 
been accepted.

recorder by are freighter.  The shipment will be made ten days earlier than

delay.  We have business relationship with all the large plywood producers 
and door makers.  You may be certain that you will find their products

materials here are exported to the United States, Japan and Southeast Asian 
Countries.
     I beg to send you by express a few little articles belong to you 
which my little sister Annie found in her room.  Your somewhat hurried de-
parture made both of us unable to remind you to bring them in time.  This, 
nevertheless, furnished me plausible excuse for writing to you.  The house 
seemed quite deserted since you left.  We all miss you.  I believe my sis-
ter is writing you something more than those expressed in this letter by 
me.  Please accept my gift as you accept my respect, and that it may please 
you and couse you think of me sometimes.  And I beg to add that in choosing 
the trifling present I have been happy enough to understand or guess your 
tastes.
     You made me the sweet confession of your love and your parents, to 
whom I have communicated my sentiments, have received my vows kindly.  I 
should be happy with all this, yet there is one thing wanting.  Although my 
thoughts, which are always on you, present me with the feature of her who 
has my heart, yet I am desirous of possessing her portrait.  It deems a 
necessity to have this token of love while I am contemplating the person 
whom I love and who is to give happiness to my existence.  I am sure you 
will not refuse my urgent request.  It's wonderful to get a nice long 
letter from you, starting my day right.  A picture of mine for which you 
asked will be found in this letter.
     There I go talking in song title again!  "As long as I'm with 
you."  Remember?  It was on the air the other night, and we listened to it 
together.  I think it's a lovely song and the words sound almost as though 
they were written for us.  Are you still so busy?  You didn't say in your 
letter whether you are still working late, like last week.  Now, with my 
picture in front of you, you will keep my advice in mind, "health is 
wealth."  It is always so nice to find a letter from you when I come home 
from work, especially today, the one enclosing a nice picture of yours.  I 
read your letter over and over again and each time I did so, I heard your 
voice calling me within my heart.
     To speak frankly, I am not rich.  I have no car, no house and no 
treasure to give you, but I have a great love for you.  The only thing I 
want is to have you with me.  All I want is to make you happy, and I will 
do my best to make you happy, and I will do my best to make a happy home 
for us I am waiting for your acceptance!  I shall see you tomorrow evening, 
but let me have one line if possible before then.  I am writing this letter 
to reach you the first thing on your birthday.  Many many happy returns of 
the day, dearest Ellen.  When your next birthday comes round I hope I shall 
not have to write you my good wishes!
     Belfast-Taiwan's Hualon Corporation and a British government 
agency formally launched a controversial textile factory project outside 
Belfast yesterday, the biggest investment in Northern Ireland for 12 
years.
     Under the scheme, a 160 million pound sterling (US$240.8 million) 
factory will be built with 60 million pounds (US$90.32 million) from the 
government's Industrial Development Board (IDB), its biggest investment 
since its foundation in 1982.
     "This is excellent industrial news," Northern Ireland's Economy 
Minister Tim Smith said at a ground-breaking ceremony at Mallusk, on the 
outskirts of Belfast.
