With reference to the Speedometer mentioned in your memo of Sept. 23rd we have received the attached letter regarding same and we shall be glad to have further particulars to enable us to reply to same.
We might point out that a [strikethrough]the[/strikethrough] Speedometer was received from Elliott Bros., on October 21st and we enquired from you whether this was the one you had returned to them but we have received no reply. It appears from their letter that the Speedometer handed to you is not the correct one, & yours is not yet back.

Wd. {Mr Wood / Mr Whitehead}

This speedometer was tested on 49BD {Mr Berend} & has been a mechanic's driver.
