Starting the Opel-Blitz presents some difficulties precisely because of the engine. Mr. Brito entrusted Vicente by letter with some things that he still needs, and I believe he will only finish after the Guanchinerfe leaves for Las Palmas. I ask you to consult telegraphically in Madrid if they agree that I employ Mr. Brito = when the truck is working = to transport the material destined for Cofete and, above all, to check the weight of the salt, transporting it from the salt mine with the truck to the other warehouse (factory) to leave the saline warehouse completely free.
............. “The most urgent thing is to transport the necessary materials to Gran Valle (in the truck), from where camels and donkeys will take them to the warehouse in Cofete.” .........
