F.O. Hickling, Esq.,
Messrs. Ransome & Marles Bearing Co.,Ltd.,
NEWARK-on-TRENT.

Dear Hickling,

Our Order Office is ordering a further set of bearings to reduce gearbox slack. One of these we have put up in size since the last order for convenience of assembly.

Will you do all you can to get these to us quickly, as we want to fit them on a car starting on our usual French tests.

Yours sincerely,
