| X1775. SEVRES Hn{F. C. Honeyman - Retail orders}7/Dn5.9.33 Believe hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} answered this To: "Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}", DERBY. Dear "Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}", I have been trying to find out what new features will be on the chassis for this year's Paris Show, but up to now I have been unsuccessful. I should be very glad if you could supply me with these particulars. Another matter is that I wrote "Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}", asking him if he could let me have the mileage I did with the 25 HP experimental car, as I unfortunately lost my papers containing these particulars, and "Tr{Capt. F. W. Turner - Finance}" is worrying me for the information for insurance purposes. As I have not yet received this information, would it be possible for you to obtain this for me. I had a very nice holiday in Scotland, and I wish to thank you for all the trouble you took in getting me the car. I was sorry I was not able to look you up at Coupar Grange, but hope you had a nice time, and that the Bentley behaved itself. I hope to have the pleasure of seeing you over here for the Salon. Yours sincerely, W.Hallam | ||
