| Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} [REDACTED] c. Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} 666. BY.17/G.23.12.38. SECRET. SILVER WRAITH. RE: COMPLETION OF BODY - 30-G-V11. After our discussion on Monday evening and Tuesday morning last, it occurred to me that the date which had been given to me over the telephone for the delivery of the Silver Wraith body was probably the date which was originally quoted i.e. the first week in January. I find that this was the case. This date, however, had to be put back in view of changes which had to be made in two or three of the bodies under construction, and the delivery date for same complete on chassis ready for running is February 9th.
