| 2. criticisms which I shall put over to you from time to time. The petrol question, if it turns out to be like that, is going to be serious, because even if one could get the petrol, it does not seem to be quite the thing to do in these days to run a car the consumption of which is so great. I am looking forward to receiving the drawings of the steering wheel and the grille, and am moving slowly and steadily on your other staff. Yours sincerely, C.L.Breeden gs. P.S. Mr. Watkins has now handed me the Petrol Ration Book to send to you, and he informs me that it will be necessary to preserve the cover of the book, as it may be required in connection with the change of Registration Number. | ||
