SIR: On the exportation of veilings manufactured by Stern & Stern, of New York, N. Y., wholly with the use of marabout or mousseline de soie, imported in the piece in a plain state and exported in the piece after having been printed in various figures or designs by a stamping and flocking of chenilling process, a drawback will be allowed equal in amount to the duty paid on the imported material so used, less the legal deduction of 1 per cent.

Samples may be taken or sworn samples furnished, as ordered by the collector, for required determinations.
