Kemp informs Marconi that although he has received all 'railway metals' needed, he has to rely on the help of the local blacksmith to cut them. Also received were 8 logs of Pitch Pine. There is mention of Kemp's salary, but only that he has not approached the head office concerning this matter as he believes Marconi 'could do the thing much quicker and more quiet', he adds, 'At the same time I think it a great shame for them to attempt to do me out of this month's extra pay after your kindness in getting it for me.' The letter finishes with mention of the successful link established between Crookhaven and Poldhu, and a hope that the signals will be even stronger once the masts are correctly in position at Poldhu.
