| X5340 Hotel de France, Chateauroux, Indre. France. GWH.{George W. Hancock - Head Chateauroux}1/Crn.9.6.25. To: "Ha" From: G.W.Hancock. We have not yet received any engine oil. We were under the impression that you had sent on two barrels. Could you please arrange, as I suggested when at Derby, for a regular supply of oil to be sent, or so arrange that we could order it ourselves from the agents in this country. Re the 40 HP. car - 9 G.III - we have not heard anything concerning the front springs which were despatched from Derby on the 5th inst, by Mail Service. These may probably be held up at the customs for three or four days. Meanwhile we are overhauling the car, and will let you have a full report, as soon as this is to hand. We take it that both the new springs will have to be fitted to this. Will you please verify this? G.W.Hancock. | ||
