re Second Experimental L.H.Car.

You will see that the question of this car being sent to America has been agreed to.

I am anxious that it should get over there before the hot weather has gone. Would you please speak to me about the question of how soon it can go, what boat it can go on and the question of sending it unpacked just as people take their cars over to France.

When I came back on the "Olympic" I noticed at Cherbourg that they produced 7 or 8 cars out of the hold unpacked, i.e. in a condition ready to drive away after being filled up with petrol and oil, and I do not see why we should not follow the same procedure. Not only will it save time but presumably also expense.
