LID{A. J. Lidsey} See mtg SECRET #5 X400. S/W. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} (C. to BKL) re- "Peregrine". Cx{Major Len W. Cox - Advertising Manager}15/KW9.12.32. We are very anxious to get as soon as we can photographs of all the Peregrines that have been completed and of each type of body fitted thereto. I understand you have at present a 4-light Saloon, a close-coupled Saloon and a close-coupled All-Weather. Will you please let me know whether one of each of these three types is available in Derby for photographing early next week. If so, I will arrange with Bkl here to make plans for the necessary pictures to be taken. It is important to have these photographs taken before the cars get considerable use and therefore possibly become shabby, and I would accordingly be glad to have an early reply from you on this matter.
