Referring to your favor of 4th inst I greatly object to the Factory being shut down during July & August unless it is absolutely necessary. I fancy orders will come in which will enable us to run through those months##I do not think it would be advisable to write to our Foreign Companies as you suggest If they require lamps they will notify us and I think to write them would create a bad impression
