Waller - Head of Chateauroux} Re: Chassis 14-B.V - Corniche Sr has instructed me to attend to the despatch to Derby of the body of the above car, which is still at Chateauroux. To do this, it is essential that you send me all the papers connected with the car so as to see under what conditions the chassis left France for England with P.H. Rose, and also to enable the shippers to forward the body without having any trouble during transit. As these papers have an importance, will you please see that they are sent to me under registered cover. Sr/JAB. [signature] | ||
