I have received your Letter of July 22nd.
Your short note that the Test Dept. have made the pump leak is a very poor and unsatisfactory statement.

We do not believe this statement if the pump has been made to our instructions and not filled to the brim. Our tests over here are severe enough and we have not had one spot of oil leak down the inside of the dashboard.

[Signature of G.W.H.]
