Dear Mr. Robotham, I thank you for your letter of 10th August and am most grateful to you for arranging for me to have the use of a Bentley car for official purposes in connection with the forthcoming Tourist Trophy Race, and will get in touch with Mr. Cowen regarding my taking the car over on Saturday 27th August.
