We have received two Brackets for the front We were not aware that these were coming out, otherwise we should have informed you that the flexible pipe and the connections, had been damaged when the Axle stub broke. If you require the Jacks to be fitted, we shall have to fit a new connection. ----------------- We would like to add that we have today sent you the following telegram:- " Awaiting remittance car held up " In our last Saturday's Memo, we requested Mr. De Looze, to forward us a Letter of Credit for L.500.0.0 (Five hundred Pounds) as we only had a balance of some 2,700 Francs left. This I knew would not carry us to the end of the week. We are today completely out of funds, and moreover have no news of the forthcoming Credit. =============== G.W.Hancock G.W.H. | ||
