We shall have finished our 10,000 miles by Wednesday. I understood that the car was to return to Derby immediately after completing this. Will you please let me know if this is still in order. We shall require paper for loading authorising us to sign for Mr Johnson what shall we do about this, also what plates will be required.

We have resumed running today and report will be posted tomorrow.
