Dear Mr.Grylls, I am so sorry that you have been troubled to write me in connection with a spot of bother with D.W.S. jacks on Sir John Leigh's Phantom lll. Confirming telephonic conversation of this afternoon, I understand that you have dealt with the matter of a replacement jack, and would appreciate it if you would kindly send me the defective ram in order that we may investigate the cause of failure. I also regret to learn that all is not well with the portable D.W.S. design; Mr.Sessions will be visiting you on Wednesday in this connection. Sincerely yours, Charles Wimanols | ||
