Dear Mr. West, I am so sorry that I was away when your favour of the 18th, advising me of your visit today, arrived, as this prevented me from meeting you at St.{Capt. P. R. Strong} Pancras. Although I would very much like to have taken care of you personally I am sure that you were in good hands in the care of Mr. Buckland. I have passed on your observations regarding Petrol Gauges to Mr. Russell and the Works, and you may rest assured that this matter, also the question of service generally, will be most carefully thrashed out. I sincerely trust that the result will be we shall be giving you instruments as near as possible absolutely trouble-free. Jackall: I confirm that Mr. Eckford will be visiting your good folk on Monday and I would like to take this opportunity of thanking you for your continued interest in this accessory. Yours sincerely, [Signature] RWG | ||
