BE "BUICK" CAR.

Would you kindly send the Buick as soon as convenient as I want the Calcott to go to London to be sold.

Will you please see that the Buick has good outer covers, as 7-CA was equipped with those which were dangerous, and results in bursting of perhaps good inner tubes. Personally I like rubber non-skid.

Will you kindly see that the rims are not rusty, as it is difficult for us to get them revarnished here in putting on new tyres.

R. {Sir Henry Royce}
