A CORRECTION.
um rex Herron or Tax .• Snrcuroz..] SIR,—In your issue of April 11th we note a letter from Dr. Arthur Lumsden Marshall. Apparently this gentleman is labouring under a misapprehension regarding the London County Council confirmation of a motor-car number. We undertook to get this gentleman's number for him, thereby obviating him a lot of trouble. Having done the same and received acknowledgment from the London County Council, we forwarded the same acknowledgment along with our com- plimentary card to Dr. Marshall. We feel sure, on reviewing this matter, it will be admitted that no breach whatever has been committed. Obviously Dr. Marshall is under the impression that the confirmation came direct from the London
Ccinnty Council to himself ; but this is not the case, as it came through us, and was duly forwarded to the Doctor with our compliments. We might say that this has been our custom with every car we have so far sold. For your enlightenment we enclose you one of the cards it is our custom to enclose with matter that requires no accompanying letter—We are, Sir, &c., 18 Down Street, Piccadilly, W.
[The explanation of "The Universal Motor Engineering Co., Ltd." is perfectly satisfactory. We very much regret that we published Dr. Marshall's letter, which was clearly written under a complete misapprehension. We assumed that Dr. Marshall had made sure that the letter had reached him direct from the County Council office. Our apologies are due also to the Licensing Department of the London County Council.—ED. Spectator.]
