With reference to para 3 of your letter of

There is also the point, even more conclusive in my opinion, that if there had been any such indication, the manager of the new cargo terminal, who is renowned throughout the airline world for his pursuit of every possible shekel in connection with the slightest packet that passes through his portals, and he is appropriately called Mr Best, would have gone to every conceivable length to get the money which was owed to him as a result of the lengthy presence of the suitcase on his premises.
