Strong} James's Street, Piccadilly, LONDON, S.W.1. Dear Manning, If the 1937 8-cylinder Studebaker which Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} and I tried the other day has not already been sold would it be possible for us to buy it on a guaranteed re-payment scheme for, say, three or six months ? Alternatively, will you let us know what is the price of the car now. From these figures we shall be able to make recommendations to the Management. Hoping you are better, Yours sincerely, | ||
