Good Morning, Mr. Suri,

All of the band members, except the two who weren’t at practice, have tried on their jackets.  All of them fit just right!!!!!!  We are very pleased
with the color and tailoring.  The black buttons have arrived, too, and now we are ready to sew them on.  Once our uniforms are complete, I will make every effort to get some digital pictures taken of us and email them to you.

Hope all is well with you.
Thank you again,
Ed

Hari Om Sanjay,

The drummer doublets arrived last week and the members that they were for, are all very satisfied with your work.

I apologize it has taken so long to write back, but it has been very busy the last several weeks.
I’m now preparing another order for 6 or 7 more Drummer Doublets.
I should have the order ready by Saturday.

Also, here is the the 4ft by 6ft flag design I mentioned. As I stated before, it needs to be a double sided flag.
It can be cotton or any other suitable material.
I will also send in another email a better image of the center portion of the emblem within the flag  when you need it.
If you would be so kind, to quote me a price at what we are looking at to invest in such a venture, I would appreciate it.

Kindest regards,
Tim Lewis Batten
St. Andrews Legion
