Dear Mr. Hines,

The two tyres which you have been testing for us on the rear wheels have now come to hand and after examining the casings very carefully, I am quite satisfied that these casings are capable of further mileage. I am, therefore, arranging to immediately re-tread these tyres with double treads and hope to despatch same to you on Friday morning next the 29th instant.

Yours faithfully,
RAPSON TYRE AND JACK COMPANY. LTD.,

T. A.{Mr Adams} Beagley
