Dear Sir, We propose sending the Vauxhall Car over to you at the beginning of next week, and are wondering if you wish to retain it at the Works or if you only want to make an examination of it for a few hours, in which case our man could wait in Derby and bring it back again, but if you would like to have it for a longer period, we will then arrange for it to be left with you and for our man to go on to Coventry and collect another Car. Would you mind telephoning or wiring us so that we can arrange for the car to be sent over on Tuesday if fine. Yours faithfully, for W.Watson & Co. [Signature] | ||
