Dear "Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}",
Le Mans
I should be interested to hear from you in due course regarding the final results obtained by "E.R." at Le Mans as I understand he did take his car round the track a few times.
What we should like to know chiefly is the maximum speed he did down the straight and also whether you are happy about the lap possibilities.
With kind regards,
Yours sincerely,
[Signature]
