Dear Sir
I think that in this case Messrs Bramble ought - in the first instance to have been given us all the information they possessed respecting the Anchor in question - I hope they will now do so - which when compared with the reply you receive from Dundee will set the matter at rest - parties claiming wreck property are bound to exhibit to you and [?] all the - information they possess.
