RE. NO.4. GOSHAWK(Aero Engine)(Codename for 20HP Car / Aero Engine after Kestrel(Aero Engine)). X4219
BJ. wishes, for advertisement purposes, a photograph of myself in the 20.HP., and I shall await No.4 Goshawk(Aero Engine)(Codename for 20HP Car / Aero Engine after Kestrel(Aero Engine)), because of the better shaped body.
Will you kindly get it here as soon as convenient? Please see that it has a good hood. The dark coloured one on 6.EX. looks very nice and dignified.
