We are this morning in receipt of a further letter from Peto & Radford dated 8th inst. as follows:- "Regarding two special batteries for 40/50 chassis, "our Works say they can make these all right and are "putting them in hand. We presume you want them fully "charged as usual and are arranging accordingly. "With regard to your comment about the moulding "being cracked around the handle of the box we sent you, "we note that this is so and think it was done in the "post. Please let me know whether the batteries are to be sent fully charged or in the uncharged condition. Wd.{Mr Wood/Mr Whitehead} | ||
