Mrs. Fyfe Jamieson. ------------------- Replying to your BY.12/G.21.3.38., this car has never been on the Continent, but it has twice done 475 miles in one day, i.e. London to Scotland, and doubtless these conditions would be sufficient to raise the temperature of the oil to the point where it would burn the leather.
