| x4410 To Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Les...........from Ev.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork} re:- Rear Seat Cushions. We thank you for your Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Les.7/KW.9.7.34. In confirmation of our conversation when we met in Derby, I assure you that if either the customer, Mr Burgess, or his chauffeur should come to London and will give me due warning of the date, I will do all I can to enable them to try a solid Latex cushion in the car and to assist them in having one made up for the car, either by their Coachbuilder at Farnham, or by a London Coachbuilder. Ev.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork} [Handwritten note] Park Ward say that the cost of such a cushion using the existing casing would be approx. - £6 | ||
