Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} 3/LG14.2.22.

SPEED BODY FOR GOSHAWK(Aero Engine)(Codename for 20HP Car / Aero Engine after Kestrel(Aero Engine)).

Referring to R6/M1.2.22. We should like to know whether you are going to order a Body on the lines suggested. We think it advisable because it would give us an opportunity of demonstrating the performance of the Car with [overtyped] a Sports Model.
