S/W......Rm. {William Robotham - Chief Engineer}

Tr {Capt. F. W. Turner - Finance} 22/D6.4.39.

This is to confirm telephone conversation with Gry. {Shadwell Grylls} this afternoon to the effect that we received a telegram from Paris stating that it was not, as we had been previously informed, the Francqui Bentley, Chassis B-24-LS, which needed attention in Belgium, but the Delacroix Bentley, Chassis B-116-MR.

I understand that you have already informed Rob. in Holland to this effect and that all the necessary arrangements have been made for the modification to be carried out on B-116-MR, and that you do not consider it necessary on B-24-LS.
