20. What is the subject of the letter?
[20~21] Read the following and answer the questions. We have recently concluded a contract for the supply of raw cotton from New Orleans to Manchester over the next twelve months and should be glad if you would find us a suitable ship, about five thousand tons. The question of speed is important as the ship we need must be able to make six return voyages in the time, allowing for six days at each turn-round.
