Mr Pope. 29-7-13.

We have seen a copy of telegram from Sales together with your letter P50/LJ28713, which we are returning.
With reference to countries for which papers are required, Mr Johnson says he will be "touring Europe", and that is our only information. We suggest he should be communicated with immediately.

The upholstery is cloth.

With regard to the wheels, we reported to you that 2 spare rims were being sent with the car, but you have for some reason omitted this in your letter to Sales.

You also state in your letter that the car is fitted with Sankey detachable wheels, this is not the case, and should be corrected in accordance

[Footer, upside down] R.R. 286A (150 M) (XX. 79. 8.7.13) E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} P. 4584.
