Chassis 80-MS. G.M. Thomas Esq.
---------------------------------

Attached is copy of a letter dated the 2nd inst. from Mr. Thomas, together with a copy of our reply.

We arranged with Cowen that we could do what is necessary to make his brakes efficient. It may of course be necessary to fit special levers as in the case of Mr. Fairey.

You will note that he requires a decarbonise.
