    Gentleman:

    Replying to your card of the 12th inst.

    We regret to state that we are unable to furnish
    # 2057 Mahogany Cabinet. This pattern has been
    out of stock and discontinued for several seasons.

    We have searched our files for a print of this Cabinet, but regret to
    state that we are unable to furnish one as we have no prints of this
    pattern on hand and the negative has been destroyed.

    Regretting our inability to serve you, we are,

    Yours very truly,
    Phoenix Furniture Co.
