will you go into the matter because if anything is to be done it ought to be done quickly as I want to go away on June 2 so I suggest we ought to make the exchange on Tuesday next if it is agreeable to you.
The wings are splitting again already. The body is a mass of creaks and rattles & the cellulore is rotten in fact I think nothing of Park Ward. Your radiator mounting makes bonnet squeaks almost impossible to use and there are a heap of clanks on bad roads. whilst you have the motor do something to the springing I am sure you can do something better that you want an intelligent general owner to try for you in actual practice!!
write to me at home saying what you think about Tuesday I could send the car over & perhaps then you could send one & take mine back as you like.
Yours,
Dick
