To Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} from Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD}
re WXA-1

664. F.{Mr Friese} DODD 66

Thanks for Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}1/MH.{M. Huckerby}5.10.38. The car has been pressed into service for trials because, owing to the clashing of the Paris Show with the Earl's Court Show (due to its postponement) we have had to send one of the English cars over to Paris.

This means, therefore, that I shall not be able to send my car to Derby until about the 24th at the earliest but I will write you again nearer the date.
