Strong}, LONDON, W.1. Dear Manning, I hope to be in London for the week-end 24th-25th, and should much like to spend the Monday morning 26th trying the 5-litre Mercedes. I wonder whether you can arrange this for me, and if so whether I could be myself and not a prospective purchaser as it is then easier to ask awkward questions. I hope your trip to "Gai Paris" was successful. Yours sincerely, | ||
