Sr. from Rm. {William Robotham - Chief Engineer}

Rm {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} 2/R.13.5.39.

Many thanks for your pictures of the Corniche(Bentley streamline(Experimental Streamline Bentley B.23.A.E)d precursor to R Type Continental, never produced) which seems to be taking shape and promises to be a very good-looking motor-car.

At the present, unless one of us goes sick again, we expect to be in Paris by the afternoon service on Monday, May 22nd, but will wire you nearer the date.

I shall be glad to know whether we may expect three of you over, definitely, for Whitsuntide.

Rm. {William Robotham - Chief Engineer}
