| W/F - Sr. X1104 Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Les.27/JH.18.5.36. Citroen Front Suspension Parts. Re our Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Les.23/KW.4.5.36. As I have heard nothing from either Parsons or you as to the progress of these parts, I am just wondering if everything is proceeding or if any unforeseen trouble has arisen. Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} agreed for approx. £80. to be spent on the parts, which will include the 4,731 francs and the duty. I have suggested to Parsons that we should pay for the parts direct from Derby, but as it is going to be easiest for you to arrange shipment to England, perhaps you would like to pay for the parts, and put a larger sum on our order number. Anyhow, I should be awfully grateful if you could get in touch with Parsons and do what is necessary to get the Citroen parts to England. All in aid of better Bentleys.
