Evernden Esq., "CamachaHenry Royce's office in West Wittering", WEST WITTERINGHenry Royce's home town. CHICHESTER. Dear Sir, re. BENTLEY 'A' SALOON (PEREGRINE.) We thank you for your letter of the 24th. inst., advising us that you require the coachwork completed in three weeks, and we do not think there will be any difficulty in this matter. We note that the instrument board should be 10" deep in the centre, straight at the bottom, and left unpolished so that it can be shaped, cut, and finished, at Derby. Kindly let us have the painting and trimming instructions during the next few days as otherwise this may cause delay. Yours faithfully, for PARK WARD & CO. LTD. (Sgd) N. A.{Mr Adams} THOMPSON. | ||
