[diagonal line through text] Re: WRAITH III. BODIES. [/diagonal line through text]

It has been agreed that we put in hand two more bodies for Wraith III. chassis - 28.G.6. and 29.G.6. in accordance with the attached memo.

Will you kindly issue the necessary order to Messrs. Park Ward & Co. The question of overtime being worked is subject to arrangement between Sg. {Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} and E. {Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} , but we have told Messrs. Park Ward & Co. to go ahead with overtime pro-tem. and we will inform you later of the final decision.

We shall need front and rear bumpers for these cars. Would you please order these from the J.B. Engineering Co., to Lec.5627 and Lec.5267 respectively.

Ev. {Ivan Evernden - coachwork}
