Sr/Dn3/ET.12.7.35

Dear Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer},

Your Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/RmIO/KW.9.7.35 just received, for which many thanks.

Vanvooren will be ready to put the body on your chassis in 10 days time,, and you will recollect that you must count about 5 days to get the chassis from London to Paris.

I am very interested to hear that E.R. Hall will be running at Ulster and if I can possibly manage to get across with Faroux, I will certainly do so.

I shall be tickled to death to see the photographs mentioned for my collection!

I trust you are keeping fit. As for me, I am very busy at present.

You will be glad to hear that Mr. Arathoon's Bentley has gone to America. According to the particulars contained in a letter which I have just received from this customer's driver, the car is to all intents and purposes meeting with a tremendous success.

All of the best and kind regards.

Sr
M.{Mr Moon / Mr Moore}
