To G {Mr Griffiths - Chief Accountant / Mr Gnapp} /WAB. from Hs. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} X9118 Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} 1/LG3.11.27.

Chassis GNK-93. X5770

With reference to G {Mr Griffiths - Chief Accountant / Mr Gnapp} /WAB/TS.5/HO2.11.27.

We were shewn by Ps. at Paris some 20 HP. pieces which were badly corroded. As the car had only just been delivered to the customer, we cannot expect him to pay for it.

We have no explanation to offer as regards why this particular car should have been so bad.

Hs. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}
