| Hn.{F. C. Honeyman - Retail orders} From HS{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} c. to EV.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork} X 7260 Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}4/MJ.28.4.30. Ref: to Hn{F. C. Honeyman - Retail orders}6/EDL/26.4.30, and Hn{F. C. Honeyman - Retail orders}7/EDL/26.4.30. With reference to the bonnets that you are asking for, for the 20 HP. and Phantom 11. As soon as ever we get the chassis together you shall have the bonnets, but neither of them are at present built. It is of course useless to send the bonnet until it has been fitted to the chassis.
