Dear Rm. {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} ,
Handwritten: Lh. {Mr Haworth}

Can you please let me have the promised details about the body weights on Sr's. car?

I spent a couple of days in Paris this week and Sr. very kindly gave me a short run on his demonstrator. I was very much impressed with the acceleration and also the silence of the body.

Lp. {Mr Lappin}
