Dear Mr. Schevenels,
FOODSTUFFS FOR SPAIN.
Referring to your letter of the 3rd December, arrangements have now been made with the British Co-operative Wholesale Society to forward food, etc. to Barcelona. The following consignment will leave England today or tomorrow on the s.s. Hartbridge, sailing from Newcastle:-
325 bales of Dried Cod.
26 bales of Bacon, Canadian Middles.
107 cases of Corned Beef - 20 cases 12 x 6s.
50 " 24 x 2s.
100 " 43 x 1s.
28½ tons of Soap - ½ Carbolic, ½ ordinary.
115 cwt. bags of Lentils.
The total cost, including insurance, of the above is approximately £1,850. In addition, we ordered £2,000 worth of sugar, but it has not been possible to secure the loading of this owing to the wet weather. The Co-operative Wholesale Society are, therefore, endeavouring to make arrangements for it to go on a boat sailing in a few days' time. I will notify you when we have particulars of the boat.
