Flight Lieut. C.S. Staniland,
The Fairey Aviation Co.,Ltd.,
Hayes,
Middlesex.

Dear Staniland,

BENTLEY C. G.H.649.

Thank you for your note. We are dealing with all the chassis points you mention.

With regard to the body, this is entirely beyond us as we have only the most primitive Coachbuilders here. As soon, therefore, as we have completed the car we are delivering it to Park Wards. We should like the man who takes this car to Park Wards to collect our Experimental car. We anticipate you will be borrowing something from Park Wards while they do their part of the job.

Yours sincerely,
