| To Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} Bly{B. W. Bleaney - Bentley Sales}/15R11.4.35. The other day Bn{W.O. Bentley / Mr Barrington} was speaking to me about your trying the 3½-litre Hotchkiss Paris-Nice model. I have been in touch with the agents in London Messrs. J.{Mr Johnson W.M.} Smith & Co. Ltd., of Albemarle Street, and they say we could arrange to try it at some time convenient, and they would like to try the Bentley at the same time. Would you let me know whether you would like to try it one day next week, and if I can help you in the matter, unless of course you have already made arrangements. Bly.{B. W. Bleaney - Bentley Sales} | ||
