Referring to America, this is just to put on record the fact that, as America have never even replied to my letter of the 5th December, offering them a supply of lefthanded chassis under/certain conditions, I am anxious that you should not/allow any time to be spent on the job unless it is merely a question of just filling up gaps in draughtsmen's time.
