re - 39-EX. [Handwritten: 300B]

Cx{Major Len W. Cox - Advertising Manager}4/KW24.9.37.

I have received a letter from Barkers concerning the above car. They say that as it is now several months since you took this car over they would like to have an opportunity of inspecting the bodywork.

I imagine that as the car has not done any serious running yet by reason of delays in developing the chassis, you will consider it rather premature for them to have this car back. However, will you please let me know what I can tell them with reference thereto.
