Dear Selman,

Thank you for your letter of the 13th. March. I do not think that the 40 mm. gun on the power driven mounting will be in the South of England for two or three weeks as we have one or two alterations to make before this unit can be handed over to the Military.

Should you wish to see it before then, a demonstration could undoubtedly be arranged if you would give us a few days notice.

Yours sincerely,
