It will be quite convenient for you to bring No. 6 Goshawk(Aero Engine)(Codename for 20HP Car / Aero Engine after Kestrel(Aero Engine)) on Wednesday next. I expect to return home on Tuesday evening.

I agree that 4-Goshawk(Aero Engine)(Codename for 20HP Car / Aero Engine after Kestrel(Aero Engine))-11 should be fitted with all the latest parts as soon as you can get it from Mr. Cowen.

I should very much like 6-Goshawk(Aero Engine)(Codename for 20HP Car / Aero Engine after Kestrel(Aero Engine))-11 or 4-Gosgawk-11 to have the altered leverage to the clutch, and the standard production spring. 4-Goshawk(Aero Engine)(Codename for 20HP Car / Aero Engine after Kestrel(Aero Engine))-11 is somewhat doubtful.
