| 2 YL FASNAKXE, CANNICH, BY BEAULY, INVERNESS-SHIRE. At first this made me think a ball race had gone in the gear box - but my man has had the lid{A. J. Lidsey} off & this is not so. He traced the vibration to the cardan shaft end at gearbox. As I do not want to run any risks will you please advise me whether I had better put her on the train at Inverness & consign to Derby as I do not wish her to be tinkered with. This car has run 10.300 miles & you could then look all over her, further I cd. spare the car & wd{Mr Wood/Mr Whitehead} please send me a wire to - Stewart - Fasnakyle - Cannich - Inverness-shire I oblige. I am yours faithfully, S. M.{Mr Moon / Mr Moore} Stewart | ||
