Dear Sirs, For the attention of Mr. Grylls. We are in receipt of yours of the 11th instant, and are arranging to despatch 14" Hoses forthwith. Meanwhile, in regard to a further pair of Aluminium Brackets for front jacks, as we have already advised you, these are extremely expensive, owing to the fact that they have to be machined from exceedingly rough forgings. We have now been able to obtain a cost of the first pair, which is £10.10s. 0d. each, and we would, under these circumstances, ask you to confirm this price for the second pair, when we will immediately put them in hand. Yours faithfully, AUTOMOTIVE PRODUCTS COMPANY LTD., C. CLENCH, Development Department.
