| PEPLOW HALL, HODNET, SALOP. TEL. CHILDS ERCALL 30. [Handwritten annotation in red ink] Customers Cars Dear Bill, Many thanks for your letter - with Income Tax at 8/6 and every prospect of going higher, £2000 seems too hot to me for a motor! I am [struck through] sorry I must pipe down at that - but it won't prevent me being very interested in your products even if I can't afford one. Hope to see you again soon Yours sincerely Neville Rollason | ||
