Please note we have taken out a personal insurance against death and accidents whilst you are driving the express car.

The amount insured against death is £3,000 and proportionately in case of accidents. When I get the policy I will send the details.

We have also taken out an insurance for
A.J.Appleby. £1500 in case of death
J.R.Waldron. £1500 " " "
T.H.Maddocks. £1500 " " "
and the same applies to the amounts for accidents, of which I will advise you later.

The reason we have insured the drivers of the express car is that they have been specially requested for long periods to drive at high touring speeds without consideration ofroad conditions etc.
