To Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} /Les...........from Ev. {Ivan Evernden - coachwork}

re:- Rear Seat Cushions.

We thank you for your Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} /Les.7/KW.9.7.34. In confirmation of our conversation when we met in Derby, I assure you that if either the customer, Mr Burgess, or his chauffeur should come to London and will give me due warning of the date, I will do all I can to enable them to try a solid Latex cushion in the car and to assist them in having one made up for the car, either by their Coachbuilder at Farnham, or by a London Coachbuilder.

Ev. {Ivan Evernden - coachwork}

[Handwritten note]
Park Ward say that the cost of such a cushion using the existing casing would be approx. - £6
