Box 37907 Cincinnati, Ohio 45237 Bear Mr. Eveson: In response to your request to Mr. C.D. Colson, we are enclosing a copy of Federal Specification, MIL-I-24244. Vie are able 'to supply R/M 9P135N to this specification, but would need a waiver, as this particular weight and construction is not listed. There is no change for treatment of the cloth, but there is a $25.00 lot charge for chemical certifications to the spec. ^. -. Delivery of 20-40 rolls of the treated cloth would be about 90-120 days ABO. If there are any further questions, please let us know. Sincerely, William H.
