re 15,000 Miles Test on 1.B.IV.

Sg {Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} 9/E15.12.33

I feel that the last 1500 or 1000 miles ought to be run by Sales, which you will remember was a principle agreed on some time ago.

I should like it to be run under the super-vision of Bn. {W.O. Bentley / Mr Barrington} and under conditions of a normal private user, not in France but in England and a very considerable amount of the running to be done in London.

Would you please arrange with Hancock, therefore, to bring the car over for this purpose at some pre-determined mileage.
