Dear Mr. Hives,

Many thanks for your report of the 22nd instant. I am very happy to read that the reduced pressures have led to the riding of the car being improved; also that the condition of the tyres after 3,000 miles is very good.

Wishing you the Compliments of the Season,

I beg to remain,
Yours faithfully,
RAPSON TYRE AND JACK COMPANY. LTD.,
