| B78 23rd June, 1941. Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}3/ET. W. BODDY Esq., 129, Fleet Road, Cove, S. Farnborough, Hants. Dear Mr. Boddy, Thank you for your letter of the 19th. I expect to be at Derby from Tuesday midday until Friday night (24th to 27th June), but I am not sure that your visit to Derby would be worth while, considering the time spent here would have to be taken out of your leave. I think the best arrangement will be for me to write something about the "Corniche" for you and send it along. You could then edit it to suit your public, and ask for any further information which you think would interest them. I have not seen the twelve copies of the issue of "Motor Sport", but they may have got to another Department. We are getting a splendid amount of experience on the few B.V.s that are running, as they are all being used for urgent Government work. What I should do without such a means of transport, I do not know. Yours sincerely, | ||
