| "Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}" DERBY X4565 EWP{Mr Punt}3/VW.20-1-28 In reply to your Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}3/LG18.1.28 which Colonel HAWKINS has passed on to me to deal with I would like to warn you that so far we are unable to get 33 x 6.75 Buttress tyres over here, and in view of your remarks I am passing an order to Works for the supply of twelve. As soon as they arrive we will send six on to Chateauroux as requested and keep six at your disposal. We will explain to Works that you will be wanting these in about ten days time so that they will loose no time in effecting despatch. EWP.{Mr Punt} | ||
