I write to thank you for your letter Lo:Lxport
Department S/CS/OM/l’-^oS datea tne 27td January 1033 and to
say that I will await a communication from your Bombay
Company and will then communicate with you again.
It seems to me preferable to postpone getting a
new car until after the driver has been trained to look
after it. I hope to be able to free him for tuition later
on in the year.
Yours faithfully,
Lieut Colonel.
