DETROIT,
Michigan. U.S.A.

Dear Webb,

Dr. Llewelyn Smith will be in Detroit during the next four or five weeks.

He is one of our Engineers and is doing a quick survey of the American Motor-car Industry.

I would be very much indebted to you if you could fix him up as a guest at the Detroit Athletic Club while he is in Town, if this is possible. I expect he will be arriving almost as soon as this letter, and we are looking forward to hearing all the latest news when he gets back.

Yours sincerely,
