| 1245 Bentley Motors Ltd. Derby..........Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} Showrooms Sr/VfII/MLG.9.8.38 Dear "Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}", Many thanks for yours of the 6th instant. Sorry to say the Streamlined car will not be ready until Thursday or Friday of next week and owing to the proximity of the Motor Show I shall not be able to accompany it. However, I think "EWP{Mr Punt}" will be taking it over and could take Paulin with him. Paulin has prepared any amount of projects of new frontal designs etc. which I am sure you will be interested in. Yours sincerely, Fauter S. [Handwritten Postscript] Had to leave 9am on a spot of shooting. I am at it every Sunday plenty of game over here. | ||
