Bleaney - Bentley Sales} PN.{Mr Northey}6/WT27.10.32. Houghton James' Car. Chassis 102-GN. Please refer to Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}1/KT.26.10.32. As the owner's use of this car which he has just bought second-hand will be in Jamaica, where the temperatures are extreme, we are anxious to do what is possible to improve the cooling conditions for the engine. Doubtless you will be in a position to let us have as soon as possible an estimate for carrying out the work indicated in the memo referred to, and after receiving your figures I will obtain from the owner his sanction for the work to be done, and arrange for the car to be sent up to you.
