Reply on this card. Resp. R.W. Mercer, July 1886." Mann & Kendig's response reads, "We really cannot see that it would be an advantage to use to pay for the prestige of advertising this card. The P.O. Dept. will probably issue one before long as a bill has been introduced with that view. Very much yours, M&K".
