| wanted louvers or shutters in scuttle (thought it RR job. told him he can get top one from london advised him to have side and top fitters to ventilate inside car. certainly his car wants an overhaul more than I can do. Radiator shutters thought they ought to open 90°. sticking when opened. This I took down and dismantled it full up with dirt havings etc. made OK refitted. Received your telegram. cannot make out the address, also do you know what a job it is in travelling by train let alone trying to argue with a frenchman without knowing french fluently. I'll do my best but if it is at all possible could not you send Boulton to assist me if he is still in France I shall not be through here until Wednesday so should be pleased to hear further from you. I've been all night on this job it is now turned 10 o'clock but wanted to get this off by early post tomorrow. G W Hancock | ||
