Dear Mr. West, Thanks for yours of the 10th instant. We had a beautiful run back thanks to our perfect mount. Now that I am getting old I am not keen on motoring but the new Bentley is such a magnificent effort that it has given me quite a new thrill in life. As regards the Wireless Set, I will certainly let you know the result of screening the dynamo voltage regulator. I do not think the supresors have the slight effect on the performance of the plugs. May I take this opportunity of thanking you and your friends at the Works for their courtesy to us during our visit; it really was a pleasure. With kind regards. Sincerely yours, [Signature] | ||
