Short Wheelbase Bentley 2.B.5

We send herewith a copy of a letter confirming our visit to Messrs.Park Ward & Co. last week.

(handwritten note: already sent)

As there is some diversion of opinion about the position of the new Rover lock, we are taking steps to find out from the Rover Co. exactly what state the design of the lock is in at the moment in their estimation.
