AUG 10] Dear Sirs, As you are aware it was the intention of our Mr. Brakenridge to call upon you in connection with the fitting and testing of a Marles Steering to one of your P2 cars. You will no doubt have heard from Mr. Brakenridge to the effect that unfortunately he is unable to visit you, and we shall therefore hope to hear from you in answer to our letter of the 3rd instant, which we trust you have found to make the whole question clear to you. Should there be any point which is not clear, however, we should be very happy to hear further from you. Trusting that we may have the pleasure of your further instructions, and assuring you of our best attention at all times, We are, Yours faithfully, for ADAMANT ENGINEERING COMPANY LIMITED.
