Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} and myself are coming down on
Wednesday and we think that we ought to try the
18 HP. Lanchester. Messrs. Stratton and Instones
are the sole distributors of these cars and I believe
that you are a personal friend of Mr. Instones.

Could you arrange for us to try the
car on Wednesday the 21st inst?
