Earl of Rothes,

London, NW.{N. Walker - Patents}8.

Dear Rothes,

Many thanks for your letter of the 10th. We note that all the tyres have been changed, and the matter, therefore, appears to be concluded.

We confirm that we have had certain criticisms of these tyres when running over grease in London, but we will communicate with you further when we have a little more evidence.

Yours sincerely,
