For the attention of Mr. W.A.Robotham. Dear Sirs, Re: 9-B-V.{VIENNA} We acknowledge with thanks your letter of the 28th ult., with further reference to the spare wheel cover required for this Car. We are pleased to confirm that we will produce a cover on the lines you suggest, bearing in mind that the height and width should be kept down to the minimum. We are sorry to observe, however, that due to the apparent excessive width the cover we supplied for 1.R.1. could not be utilised. Yours faithfully, for PARK WARD & CO LTD. Works Director. | ||
