CHASSIS WHC 1
We have instructions under your note of the 20th August to have a MULLINER saloon on this chassis to be delivered to you in London.

We will arrange for this.

CHASSIS NO. W.F.C. 61
for which we have a SERVICE motor. The chassis is required by the coachworks on the 26th September, and we presume that this will be available.

FOR COLONEL F.C. DRAKE

We will just get this chassis tested at Derby and then deliver it to Mulliners.
It is on the charge sheet for the 19th October.
The engine has been quite satisfactory, but if you consider this requires a further test, we will make a special test for this.
