| 4009 D/L. from Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/FD.{Frank Dodd - Bodies} Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/FD.{Frank Dodd - Bodies}2/BA.2.2.40. Re: Accident to 14.B.V. We have managed to get the attached bills from Paris, regarding the accident to the above car, but I see that this does not include remounting the body and re-painting, so that to cover ourselves in Insurance we should add another 3,000 francs, for mounting and painting. The reason this has been omitted is that the Coachbuilders will not re-mount the body and paint until they get the chassis, and under the circumstances this may be some time.
