I urged so much for promptness & should have had them one week ago. I have been greatly inconvenienced by the delay. You surely must have them on hand hence why not ship at once. I will try it once more & can then tell better what to do. I am not suited with such slow moves & this was one of the reasons of alienation at first. If there is a good business reason for delay I can accept it.
