May 27th 1937

Messrs Park Ward Co.,
473 High Road,
Willesden,
LONDON N.W.10.

For the attention of Mr.Timms.

Dear Sir,

We confirm our telegram of the 25th inst., asking you to proceed with the repairs to 6.B.1V. body. This, however, only confirms the Insurers' estimate of £86. 4. 0.

We do not wish to spend more than another £10. 0. 0. on this body in view of the fact that it is not all steel.

Will you therefore let the writer know the extent of repairs you can put in hand for this additional sum.

We could cut out the new instrument board and alterations to the petrol filler position as previously asked for.

Yours faithfully,

FOR ROLLS-ROYCE LIMITED.
