Dear Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} P.N. is gradually getting much fitter and wishes from the end of this week to start gradually getting in touch with a motor car again. He is proposing to leave London for Cornwall on Saturday next and will be away for 10 or 11 days. He will be driven down to Cornwall but whilst there wishes to gradually start driving again. We have no car here which we could spare for this length of time and would be very glad if you have anything in the Experimental Department which you could spare. It should be a New PhantomCodename for PHANTOM I with seating capacity for a minimum of 4 and must have a luggage grid. Apart from this anything will be satisfactory. If you will please let me know whether there is any hope of your being able to loan this car for this time would you please let me know as soon as you can. CWB. [Handwritten signature] CWB.
