Letter from Gordon Thomas regarding a temperature discrepancy between a previous letter (78°) and the handbook (85°).

similar weather conditions.

Even so 78° strikes me as being plenty cold enough and I should have thought 85°, as given in the handbook, was more nearly correct. It was this discrepancy between the figure you gave in your previous letter and that given in the handbook to which I drew attention in my letter addressed to Bentley Motors.

I assume, however, the temperature given in your letter -78°- is the correct one.

yours faithfully
Gordon Thomas
