Subject: Hardtmuth White Pastel Pencil

Sirs: I am professional portrait painter. For many years I have used a
Hardtmuth white pastel pencil which is the best and whitest that I have
ever seen. Unfortunately I cannot find it any longer and my stock has
dwindled down to two stubs, on one of which I can read the following:
"...SOFT R P 4700/ WHITE N: 1. Do you by any chance know where I can
obtain them? Or do you know the address and/or telephone/fax of the
Hardtmuth company in New Jersey? I will be extremely grateful for any
help you can give me in this matter. Sincerely, Pedro G. Menocal
