Description:Another letter from Watson reveals that the fourth Duke of Sutherland owned a number of motorcars. Watson writes enquiring after the condition of the cars at the Stables. He adds that if necessary he was willing to ‘go up with Lee & help him to clean up’. Watson’s letters indicate that he was a conscientious manager, particularly where he advises Simpson that ‘the Crossley car would be better for a run occasionally and may want a little attention’.
