The plant to produce these tyres is being put in hand immediately, and we hope to issue within the time specified. In the last paragraph of your letter, you mention -"could we let you have the smaller size before the end of the first week in November." We take it that this should have read "December". However, you may be rest assured that no time will be lost in getting these through at the earliest possible moment. Yours faithfully, FOR THE DUNLOP RUBBER CO.
