B.56-BN{W.O. Bentley / Mr Barrington}, Steel Bodied Car. I understand that Mr Ward has undertaken to do his best to have this car ready for your man to collect on Wednesday next but I am told that the chances of its being ready then are remote. There is quite a lot of work to be done and consequently little hope of the car being ready earlier than Thursday afternoon as I told you over the telephone. I mention all this as it does not seem to me you can count upon the car being available on Wednesday. Hn.{F. C. Honeyman - Retail orders} | ||
