he can get power - The setting is rather rife now, so it is a bit of a riddle.
However I will do my best in every way possible, & I will keep you acquainted with the job -
I am enclosing Time & Expenses sheets for week ending W.day midday.
If you have any instructions for use kindly transmit them through Mr P. N. as I am not acquainted with his itinerary & cannot therefore supply an address -
Yours faithfully
J. {Mr Johnson W.M.} H. {Arthur M. Hanbury - Head Complaints} Lause.

Paris 1-2-26 Yrs.
Dear Sir,
Just about arrived in Paris - Mr. P.N. still dissatisfied with several features of the car. Generally speaking - The brakes were better this journey but he says they are not much more efficient than on a 40/50 -
Steering he states is too free on pot-holed roads -
I must close now as I have plenty to do & we leave tomorrow for Nice where you can send instructions if any - enclosed Time & expenses sheets initialled by Mr. P.N. JHL also -
