Dear Sirs, We are in receipt of your letter of the 15th instant, and are very pleased to note that the Telecontrol shock absorbers have given you satisfaction, with the exception of the control unit. We have had a certain amount of trouble in this direction, and several modifications have quite recently been made to the control unit, and we are sending you along two of the latest type units which we shall be glad if you will fit in place of the two already on the car, and let us have your report as soon as you have had an opportunity of testing them. Yours faithfully, T.B. ANDRE & CO. LTD., DIRECTOR & MANAGER.
