RE. D.F.P. X4405

With reference to your telegram Re. the above. It was not possible to arrange a trial run when EP.{G. Eric Platford - Chief Quality Engineer} and myself returned from W.W. so we have left it that Mr. Evans in London would collect the car and have it sent on to Derby where we will fix on to it a seat and send it to W.W.

We have asked C. to wire you and let you know when we are likely to get hold of the chassis.

Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}
