| 1086 S/W. CONFIDENTIAL. Db{Donald Bastow - Suspensions}/Blb.8/LAM.7.6.37. To Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} from Blb. [Handwritten in red ink] WYMAN - Release note [Handwritten] Ru, Re: PACKARD. Mr. James has found it necessary to postpone his holiday until the 17th instant. Therefore he will not want the Packard on the 11th instant, as previously arranged. We will let you know later if he wishes to take the car on the 17th but as there is some doubt about this, we suggest you do not let the possibility of this interfere with any programme you may have in hand for this car. I am mentioning this as when I was at the Works on Friday last I noted that they were removing the body. Blb. [Handwritten] Noted [Handwritten signature] | ||
