XH553a.

Mr.F.Dodd,
c/o Hotel de France,
Chateauroux(French test region),
Indre,
FRANCE.

To FD. {Frank Dodd - Bodies} from Rn. {Mr Robinson} Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} /Rn. {Mr Robinson} 5/KT. 22.2.33.

BENSPORT(Codename for 3 1/2-litre Bentley).

Hs. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} wants you to stay with Bn. {W.O. Bentley / Mr Barrington} whilst he tries
the car. I do not know how long he will be in France,
but it should not be a very prolonged trip. I understood,
when calling at Conduit Street, that he will be leaving
France either Monday or Tuesday of next week; therefore
I presume you will stay with him to the end of this
period.

Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} /Rm. {William Robotham - Chief Engineer}
