| V1245 To Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} Derby Paris 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} | ||
