Dear Sirs, Stevenson Jacking System for Bentley Chassis. In reply to your letter of the 13th instant and following our conversation on the telephone this morning we are pleased to advise you that the experimental system has been forwarded to your Derby works per L.M.&S., railway tonight. We are very sorry that this was not forwarded before but it was inadvertently put on one side during stocktaking and we are afraid that it was overlooked. We thank you for your offer to allow us inspect this system when fitted to the chassis and now wait your further communication, and in the meantime, We are, Yours faithfully, p.p.
