This column is for Name of Person addressed. Mr Platford. [Signature: Whitingh Bailey] Re Mercedes Car. X407 [Date Stamp: MAY 3 1912] 3.5.12. As it appears now to be just a fortnight since we received your reply, we are writing to enquire if you are yet in a position to let us know when we are likely to receive this car, because, as we previously stated, we are trying to keep two very likely purchasers still interested in the car, and we very much doubt their waiting very much longer. A.S. This sheet must be filed with the correspondence to which it refers. | ||
