Confirming our conversation on the telephone with you this afternoon we shall be glad if you will kindly ignore our previous letter when we informed you that you could retain the wheel we recently sent to you, and arrange for the wheel and tyre to be sent back to us at your earliest convenience. We find after-all that we have not quite completed our tools to make up discs for these wheels, and thank you for your kind co-operation in this matter. Yours faithfully, For CORNERCROFT LIMITED.
