Dear RM.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}

Your letter of the 29th.ult. to hand from which I regret to note Mr.Hives has had an accident with 4 B.50 necessitating its return to the Works for repairs to the body.

It is also noted that Mr.Hives would like to have the wing arrangement PL.170 rather than have the present type of wing repaired. We will go into this matter further so soon as the car arrives and write you upon the subject.

Yours sincerely,
[Signature]
