New York City,
U.S.A.

Dear Inskip,

I am sailing on the "Brittanic" which leaves Liverpool on Dec. 30th. I am bringing a Bentley car over with me. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} has told me that he had considerable difficulty in getting a driving licence in New York and was made to wait a week for this. I wonder whether you could do anything for me to avoid a similar difficulty when I arrive.

Kind regards,

Yours sincerely,
