In order that we may rectify any errors which were discovered when fitting the first body we would be glad if HS.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} would tell us of the mounting troubles.

As soon as we have supplied Messrs Park Ward & Co. with prints of the designs we will send them to BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} and we would be glad if they could be checked over as regards dimensions. The first body was built on very scanty information and we suggest that now we are building a quantity it would save money to make sure that our information is correct.

Any delay in supplying Messrs Park Ward & Co. with either information or the parts herein mentioned will of course have to be added on the the date of delivery.

EV.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork}
