Extract from a customer's letter postmarked
Lancaster on 26^th February 1886.

“I wish the two crests to be painted on each door in the same red as the carriage is picked out with the boar's head to be a little larger than the one above the arms now on the doors, and the other crest the same size as the present one.  I do not want the mottoes - ”.

"The firm has a high reputation for first-class work and as evidence of this can refer to carriages turned out recently to such distant places as Thurso, the Hebridies, places both in England and Ireland, and Gibraltar, while in previous years many carriages have gone to South Africa, India, Jamaica, Trinidad, and one to Victoria, Vancouver Island.  Long may this old and worthy firm continue to flourish and to uphold the good name of the “City of the Rock” in the branch of industry in which its reputation has been gained".
