| 400 To Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} from Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} re B.III. Sg{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD}1/E51038 I am writing to you in advance of the 3 o'clock call as I shall probably have some one in my office and shall not wish to go into a lot of details. It will suit us very well if you can send the car up to-morrow, Thursday, as Cx.{Major Len W. Cox - Advertising Manager} and Bly.{B. W. Bleaney - Bentley Sales} can then try it on Friday and I can have it over the week-end. Whilst I have been using Wraith, I have had a private lock-up garage in the West End. The Wraith can now go to Lillie Hall and, in view of secrecy, I should like this car to go into that lock-up. I enclose the key and, if you will give the man the attached directions, it will enable him to find it. When he has put the car in there, he should bring the key to me here. Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} Enc. | ||
