25HP. ENCLOSED DRIVE LIMOUSINE - WIDE FRAME
EXPERIMENT.

WE wired you today as follows:

"PLEASE COLLECT PARK WARD BODY THURSDAY NOON CERTAIN,"

and hope you will be able to take delivery as arranged, for
Park Wards have worked overtime, and all the weekend, to finish
before Easter.

The writer would like to come to Derby to assist
in the mounting of the body, and would be glad if you could
inform him a day beforehand when this will actually take place.
This will enable him to explain to your staff any of the
special features in connection with the mounting, and to see
any faults in the fit of the body, so that we may avoid them
on the second and third bodies.

P.S.
We apologise for suggesting that it
would be a fitting gesture if you sent
Mr. Park a little note of appreciation
of his efforts.
