March 23rd, 1937.

I have sent a parcel care of your attention.

It contains:-

(1) 2 Bentley rear drivers, one split. This car had been to the Works. The drivers have been hammered in by the look of them.

(2) A starting switch which was found full of water when taken down. (New Car) possibly chassis left out in the yard during testing.

(3) Ball races for your inspection (Noisy Axles).
