Dear Sirs, For the attention of Mr. Rowbotham. Re 27-EX. At the request of your Mr. Honeyman we are sending you separately sufficient cellulose for repainting the spare wheel cover fitted to this car, and there will also be ample to paint a new bonnet which we understand you are fitting. We have received a report that the sliding roof leaks on the nearside only, and we trust that you will be able to let us have the car for an hour or so to investigate this matter. We are anxious to give this attention ourselves, and we shall be glad to know if there is any likelihood of the car calling here before despatch abroad. Thanking you in anticipation of your reply. Yours faithfully, for PARK WARD & CO. LTD. W. B. Thompson | ||
