| 3 I will in due course send you a copy of the story I shall do for our Overseas clients. If by any chance you do attempt the Munich-Berlin record I hope you will ask me over again for it. Perhaps it was as well we left it alone last week as Hitler was in Munich and the main road to Berlin was probably blocked and full of "umleitung"! With renewed thanks for all your kindness, and it was a great pleasure to meet you Yours sincerely Vernon. F.{Mr Friese} Morgan. PS. I still feel pretty bad about not being able to give you more publicity but I think you fully understand my position. PPS. Please do not forget to let me have a copy of the Bentley Bulletin with the news and photos of the trip. | ||
