C onfirming conversation with you on the telephone this morning, John Croall & Sons of Edinburgh have been asekd to send their car B-31-AE to you to-day so that you can carry out the modifications you consideressential and let them have it back in time to deliver to Sir James Wilson on Friday of this week. This delivery is important, we understand, and we hope you will do nothing to interfere with that delivery date even if it means your having the car back later for other minor modifications. I understand, however, that you will probably be able to do the important ones, which concern pistons,universal joint and exhaust. I have asked Croall's man who delivers the car to you to enquire of you as to when he shall call for it on Thursday, so as to fulfil the promise of delivery to Sir James Wilson the following day.
