Trading Estate, SLOUGH.

Dear Devereux,

Thank you for your letter of the 21st.
March. We will try and make the Bentley V. {VIENNA} you are going to
have into a nice car.

I have had a letter from John Heron(Experimental 6 CYL OHV 40/50 WITH PNEUMATIC F.W.B. air pump on camshaft, then Servo)
and we will put our problems up to him.

Glad you are getting the price of light
alloys down to a reasonable figure.

I will look in next time I am Slough
way.

Yours sincerely,
