| 8796/ To Bly.{B. W. Bleaney - Bentley Sales} From Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}4/MJ.6.4.34. Re. Monsieur Dubonnet. Replying to Bly.{B. W. Bleaney - Bentley Sales}16/DAR.29.3.34. When Mons. Dubonnet was at Derby on Tuesday last he mentioned that he had been able to get far better terms both as regards delivery and allowance for his 25 HP. car from Messrs. Rootes, than he had been able to obtain from you. I should assume therefore that if he intends to purchase a Bentley he will obviously obtain it from Messrs. Rootes.
