r400. S/W. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Lid.{A. J. Lidsey} Bk{A. Birkett - Commercial Manager}1.1/WT14.12.32. Peregrine. With reference to Cx.{Major Len W. Cox - Advertising Manager}15 of the 9th instant. I will arrange to have the two cars referred to namely :- Four-light Saloon and Close-coupled Saloon . photographed on Tuesday next the 20th instant. We will catch the 10.25 from London and arrive at Derby at 12.57, and I shall be glad if you will have a car to meet us at the Station. Providing it is not raining hard, and the two cars are standing out in the open so that we can photograph them broadside on, three-quarter, front and back, the job can be done in an hour. If the close-coupled all-weather body is likely to be fitted to a chassis before Thursday the 29th, I will delay taking the other two until then, but if there is likely to be any delay in this, the first two had better be done while they are available.
