Re: Bentley Chassis No.B.88-AH - M.Delacroix.

Referring to your HP7/MM/24.8.34. and to the memo. from G.V.H. in connection with the steering of the above car, we have written to Paris asking them to make arrangements to obtain this car and fit a new front axle of the latest type.

We think this will be better than getting the work done in Brussels as Paris can then at the same time carry out the modification to the valves etc. which has also got to be done.

Furthermore, Paris already have by them a spare front axle which can be used immediately.
