Lidsey} 3/KT.27.9.32 [Stamped: RECEIVED SEP 29 1932] PEREGRINE(Experimental Bentley car never produced / Aero Engine) II BODIES. We are expecting to commence fitting the second Peregrine(Experimental Bentley car never produced / Aero Engine) II body on to its chassis, towards the end of this week. The work will, of course, have to be done in our works. We propose instructing Sanderson & Holmes to do the job, because they are the only people who have had experience of this kind of work, and in addition, they are handy to the works. It will not be possible, owing to the nature of the work, to obtain an estimate of the cost, but we can keep a strict watch in order that the time worked is not excessive, in the same manner as we did on the first Peregrine(Experimental Bentley car never produced / Aero Engine) body. Will you please say if you are in agreement with this procedure. [Handwritten annotations:] [Left side:] Hs. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} /Lid. {A. J. Lidsey} [Signature] Agreed WR.
