Reference Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}8/KW.12.4.35. I have been able to arrange a run on this car. The driver will report to you at Brooklands on Wednesday the 17th instant at 12 noon. We will not be returning the car until 9 o'clock the following morning, so that the car can report to me as soon as you have finished with it. We are loaning the agents a Bentley for the day. Bly.{B.
