Date:8th of February 1899

Description:A further letter to the Company from Wright returns the specification which they had sent. Wright’s letter of the 8th February 1899 informs the Company that the Duke’s leg measurement was ’35 inches’, advising them that ‘the height of the frame should be 24 inches’.

Wright had made ‘other alterations’ to the specification ‘in pencil’, and concludes his letter directing Amulet to deliver the bicycle to Stafford House ‘in working order’ at the Company’s ‘earliest convenience’.
