HOOPER BODY FOR GOSHAWK(Aero Engine)(Codename for 20HP Car / Aero Engine after Kestrel(Aero Engine)) CHASSIS.

X3730
We do not want to let Hoopers have the chassis for 6 days. We have a tremendous amount of work to do on it ourselves and if they require until March 6th. to get the body fitted, we propose letting them have the chassis on the 2nd. or 3rd. of March.
We trust that you will keep Hoopers up to the mark as regards their promise, otherwise, we shall not get the Car to the south of France before Mr. Royce's return.
