The difference due to the cut out is much smaller than I should have expected. When shall I send the car down to you to attend to the oil consumption? Saturday week wouldbe a suitable day for me or after the Easter holidays if you prefer but I would like it back the following Friday (April 1st) as I am going to Felixstowe, or for that matter you can have it on Thursday next. With renewed thanks and kind regards, Yours sincerely, [Signature] W. Hives, Esq., Messrs. Rolls-Royce Ltd., DERBY. | ||
