We thank you for your letter of the 1st instant, and for the copy of the Analysis of the Weight of this coachwork. We presume that you weighed the paint in tins, but of course, when this is sprayed on the wings etc., the total will be far less. No doubt you will be weighing the car complete when finished, and we shall be glad if you can then please send us a further schedule of your calculations. Yours faithfully, For PARK WARD & CO. LTD.
