London.

Dear Rootes,

We were all very interested in the car which Mr. Bryan brought to the Works last week.

Personally I think it was the nicest closed body I have ever seen on a Phantom. It also seemed very free from booming. The tilting of the window and plush occasional-seats are an excellent innovation.

I shall be in London next week and hope to be able to see you for a little while to discuss a possible customer for this body.

Yours faithfully,
