Bleaney - Bentley Sales}16/RW.22.10.34 S/W Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} re: Richard Summers, Esq., With reference to your Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}10/KW.20.10.34., confirming my conversation with you to-day, if the above will settle at once and let us have his car after Christmas, in good condition subject to fair wear and tear in the meantime, we are prepared to give him a new car for £275 cash, and his present car. As mentioned to you I should like a decision at once as I am still holding a chassis reserved for him, delivery due early January. This will mean, of course, that he will get standard complete car 4/5 weeks later. With regard to Mr. Thompson the chassis which we have reserved for the end of December delivery is number 197.CW. so far the order is not confirmed by any agent. With regard to Mr. Hawkins chassis which I have reserved for February delivery, as I mentioned to you to-day, we have received an enquiry from a trader at Walsall and have replied stating the position regarding delivery.
