CWB5/LH{Mr Haworth}17.9.25.

9-G-III.

You will by now have received this car back at Derby.

I hope you will find everything O.K.

I was immensely pleased with its general behaviour and its running in France, despite certain minor faults, of which I am making a full report - the points of which will no doubt be discussed.

I have an idea that the slipper fly wheel has seized up in the last 150 miles.

I enclose herewith one of the keys which belong to the car.

All the papers I have returned to Sg{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD}'s Department.
