We have another Bentley 'A' body which will be ready for collection early next week and we suggest that we hand the spare wheel and tyre over when you collect this coachwork or, if it is urgent, we shall be happy to send it by train immediately on receipt of your instructions. Yours faithfully, for PARK WARD & CO. LTD. M.H. Thompson. Since writing the above we have wired you as attached copy & we trust this will have arrived in time to enable you to send the lorry to be here on Friday morning the 30th inst when this body will be ready for him & we will hand him the wheel & tyre for Bentley.
