Letter discussing proposals for a smaller, lighter car body and lower steering.

Date  9th January 1938 guessed
  
large limousine type of coachwork.
I propose to have as small a body as possible, and hoped that a corresponding reduction in weight would justify a chassis with slightly more life, without loss of smoothness, silence etc.
I presume you are attending to the lower steering, as I have already heard that this can be supplied.
I would, however, appreciate assurance on this point, and hope you can still do something about the former.
Yours sincerely John M. {Mr Moon / Mr Moore} Colville
