I am certain we should make an effort to make this car satisfactory, as the Burgesses might be very dangerous to our name. Two other R.R. Cars called round at the house this afternoon, and there is some talk about a Bentley to replace their Marmon.

Mrs Burgess is now quite ready to believe her car can be made perfectly satisfactory and I think it would be foolish to leave the work until after Whitsun.

The car is wanted for Whitsun. Les.{Ivan A. Leslie}
