Complaint about the quality of Park Ward's handiwork, focusing on loose door hinges and poor cellulose.

The more I see of Park Ward's handiwork, the less I like it. I find the hinges on the back doors have started to pull the screws out, and when I come to try to tighten them up, they don't grip. The cellulose is bad, and soft.

I may be coming over to the races to-morrow at Donnington, with Neville and Kimber of the M.G. Car Coy., so if by any chance you are there, keep your eyes open for us.

Yours sincerely,

Richard. [Signature]
