26.G.VI. & 32-EX.

Gibbs arrived on Wednesday night, and we fetched Leslie from Paris in the 25/30 yesterday.

The most important parts have already arrived, and the suspension jobs are going ahead on both cars.

The weather has been disappointing for the petrol system jobs, but it is getting warmer now. We hope to get everything that can be squared up out here on the Phantom finished before bringing it back, about the middle of next week. [Text obscured by a red circular stamp with initials 'JAB']

Regarding holidays, Bullamore would like his as soon as possible, so I am letting him come back with the Phantom.

Gardiner has asked for Sept. 4th, and Walsh Sept. 29th. I can arrange this with you on my return.next week. Reid wishes to postpone his until later on.
