From Sg. to Rm. requesting to borrow a Bentley Cresta for a trip to Gloucester.

To Rm. {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} from Sg. {Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD}

Sg {Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} 1/E23140

I noticed a new looking Bentley outside the offices yesterday with a body painted black. I rather think it was the Bentley Cresta.

I have to go to Gloucester and back on Wednesday the 31st and, as I have never seen nor tried this car, I was wondering whether I could have it for that trip. If so, I should want it here by 8.15 a.m. or on Tuesday evening.
