Dear Sirs,

Confirming our telephone conversation today, we regret that owing to a mishap in our Works we are unable to complete the timing of the two special instruments which we were altering for your Mr. Roebottom.

We are therefore, doing our utmost to despatch this instrument by the 12.25 Passenger train from St. {Capt. P. R. Strong} Pancras tomorrow and trust the goods will arrive in time for your purpose.

Yours faithfully,
for A.T. SPEEDOMETER CO. LTD.
