It would be more convenient if you would arrange for Mr.Hancock to come to Barlow Place, Bond Street at 12 o'clock on Tuesday instead of going direct to Park Ward's Works. Will you kindly arrange this. It will be very helpful for Mr.Hancock to be there with the car so as to be able to explain the troubles he has had with it. It would also help if he could have with him information as what part of the mounting of the body or finishing of it was done by W., so as to be able to trace definitely the causes of the troubles complained of. We are arranging at this end for Mr.Park, or his representatives, to be available at Barlow Place at the same time, for the purpose of a general examination of the car and an investigation of the troubles.
