Original 1944 letter from Furse Wholesale Limited, Electrical Wholesalers and Factors, headquartered on Traffic Street, Nottingham. Addressed to Abbott & Co. (Newark) Ltd., the letter refers to a delayed delivery for a wartime order of wall plugs, with a note that the manufacturer could not confirm a shipping date. A red “RECEIVED” stamp dated 26 AUG 1944 is prominently visible.

Furse Wholesale Ltd. operated multiple branches across the UK, supplying electrical components to industrial and commercial clients. During wartime, delays and shortages were common, and this letter reflects the operational challenges of material procurement during WWII.
