ESSEX TERRAPLANE. =============== In order to have certain faults removed from this car before Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} tries it, we sent it up to London to the Shaw & Kilburn Service Station. They were rather loth to part with it without payment by our driver for the work carried out. He persuaded them, however, that it was your car, which we understand is how it was bought. They will therefore be sending you the bill for repairs and some petrol. If you send this on to us we will check it and get it paid. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/H.Grylls. | ||
