GLR-59.

You will recollect that some little time ago we fitted this car with low rating springs. At the time we pointed out that the rear springs were overstressed and that therefore we should want to change them as soon as we have supplies of the correct springs.

Will you please arrange to let us have this car back as soon as convenient so that we may make the necessary alteration.
