Dear Sirs, We thank you for yours of the 16th inst. and note that probably something happened to the battery at the coach builders. We are glad that this is cleared up because we did not wish you to remain with the impression that there was anything seriously wrong with the construction or design of the battery. We will do up this battery and send it back to you as good as new, free of charge, to your Repair Department, as requested. Yours faithfully, PETO & RADFORD. G.R.N. Minchin Copy sent to Hm.{Capt. W.
