J.{Mr Johnson W.M.} DeLooye Esq

Dear Mr DeLooye, I thank you for your letter of the 13th inst & am today writing for the death certificates, as I understand I have to give them in when I claim.

He was very highly honored at the funeral by the attendance of so many celebrities.
Lord Northcliffe, Mr Chamberlain, especially Lord Rothermere & Lord Beaverbrook.

The flowers were very beautiful & a wreath was sent also from the Testing Department of the Rolls-Royce works.

Yours v truly
W H Halliwell
