Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}3/KW.29-11-34. I have taken careful note of the specification of this car and will in the course of a few days let you have details of the extra charges involved.

I have made a note to remind you at the proper time about the front bumper.

As you make no mention of additional clearance to permit of the fitting later on of 6 inch tyres, nor of a longer cushion for the driving seat, as on Mr. Fairey's car, we are assuming neither feature is wanted.
