The Rover Motor Co.Ltd.,
COVENTRY.

Dear Searle.

My uncle, whose car will be delivered at the factory with this note, has had a Rover some little time, but in my opinion its performance has never been up to standard.

I shall be much indebted to you if you could ensure that this car is 100% when you have dealt with it.

Yours sincerely.
