Kingsbury,

1st February, 1937.

I am enclosing a report from P. Rose re accident to 35 EX, I am at a loss to try and explain why these accidents are happening and I am extremely sorry that this one should have occured after all your time and worry expended in getting the Car ready. I have not received full particulars of the damage as yet and if, as Waller states, the Police have taken the Car, it will probably be some time before the damage is known.
