To Wer, from Sg. {Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD}
Copy to E.Hs. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}

Sg {Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} 6/E14.11.33

I thought you would be interested to know that in a personal letter from Mr.Fairey the following paragraph occurs:

"My hearty congratulations on the Bentley. Neither Staniland nor myself had a single criticism and I am sure you have turned out the perfect Sports Car."

He is, as you know, rather a severe critic and a very fast driver so that this praise from him and Staniland is excellent.
