| 1245. W/P. Sr. from Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/GWH.{George W. Hancock - Head Chateauroux} Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/GWH{George W. Hancock - Head Chateauroux}9/R.14.4.37. I hope to see you next time I am in Paris. I 'phoned Conduit Street when you were over but once more missed you. I am writing at the moment with regard to the Chateauroux job. We would like you to run 3.B.IV as much as possible while our other two cars 35-EX and 6.B.IV finish their mileage. In case anything goes wrong with 3.B.IV. while in your hands put it into a corner and inform Waller. From Waller's reports they have made 3.B.IV a reasonable car, so I trust it will not let you down.
