Mr. Hives, Re - Mr. Evernden - Sub-frame Cab. de Ville. With reference to your letter of the 12th inst. - Hsl/LG - I am sorry that you have not received the set of standard wings and running boards for the above body, but if you will remember, you promised to send two lorries, one for this body and the other for the Torpedo. This, however, was not done, and afterwards you promised to send a chassis here that was going up to Derby. The chassis has not yet arrived, but I have telephoned Mr. Mckechnie of Lillie Hall asking him directly a chassis leaves there for Derby, if he will send it here to have the wings etc., put on. Yours faithfully, For BARKER & CO (Coachbuilders) LTD. C.D. Dingwall. Director. | ||
