31-EX. Accident.

The attached list shews the parts salvaged from the body of 31-EX.

The damaged coachwork was sold to a scrap metal dealer by Messrs Sanderson & Holmes for the sum of £1 10 0d- see attached credit note.

We propose writing to Messrs Bark Ward Co Via Hn. {F. C. Honeyman - Retail orders} to see if any of the salvaged parts are of use to them.
