Letter objecting on behalf of Messrs Whitfield & Co agents of SS “Condor” to the regular prolonged delay of loading the vessel from Saturday to Monday when 2-3 hours additional work on Saturdays would be sufficient to dispatch her, suggesting this should not be allowed to continue.

Memorandum in reply, re-stating existing arrangements for weekend berthings and if notice is not given before 11.30am for loading the crew are allowed home. [signed R. T. Wilkinson]
