<p>Erica,</p>

<p>Thank you — that answered nearly everything, and the fabric/wallpaper split in particular.
Two of your answers changed prices we had live, so we have already put those right on our site.</p>

<p><b>One big question, then a few small ones.</b></p>

<p><b>1. Our item numbers versus your pattern codes.</b> This is the one that matters most.
Your sheet lists many patterns <i>twice</i> — once under a six-digit number we order against, and
once under your own pattern code — same pattern name, same width, different price:</p>

<p>Are these the <b>same goods at two prices</b>, or genuinely different items — a different ground,
substrate or grade? It runs across 23 patterns and about 139 items we have listed. If the
code-row price is the current one then we are charging our customers too much, and I would like to
correct it rather than leave it.</p>

<p><b>2. Widths.</b> You offered to fill these in individually — here are the ones we actually carry,
93 items across 23 patterns:</p>

</ul>

<p><b>3. Three you did not get to:</b></p>
<ul>
  <li><b>Birds II</b> — we have $182, and 5050-04WP shows $142.</li>
  <li><b>Gorrivan Fretwork</b> (grasscloth) — $178 against about $96 for 6300R.</li>
  <li><b>Cumberland on Grasscloth</b> — $174 against $78 for 7160GC.</li>
</ul>

<p><b>4. The wider goods.</b> You said to disregard the "Commercial" title and gave Island Ikat as a
5-yard roll — understood. Two checks before we list them: is <b>Capri</b> at 60" also a 5-yard roll,
and is its price $194 or the $164 on your CP1060W numbers? For Island Ikat ours reads $176 where
6460-xxWP reads $175.</p>

<p><b>5. Still open</b> — about 977 China Seas items have no price on the sheet, and we have not had
word on the 25% showroom discount.</p>

<p>Happy to call — what time suits you tomorrow?</p>
