23rd. September 1938.

K.J.Thomson, Esq.,
Messrs. Thomson & Taylor
(Brooklands) Ltd.,
Brooklands Track,
Weybridge,
SURREY.

Dear Mr.Thomson,

Very many thanks for your letter of the 20th. September. The information contained therein is exceedingly useful.

We are wondering, if, at any time, there is a possibility of your having a head-cum-induction system available for say, 2 days. If so, we would arrange to run down and collect it and return it after taking full particulars.

I should like to congratulate you on the performance put up by John Cobb with his car.

Yours sincerely,
