Wing Commander Buxton,
Central Landing Establishment,
R.A.F. Ringway,
Nr. Manchester.

Dear Buxton,

Thank you for your letter of the 13th. January.

Since you were last here we have filled the Design Office with urgent work and therefore it is going to take us some time to do your winch.

If you are in a great hurry for it, you had better let someone else have a go at the design work, otherwise we will tackle it as and when we can.

Yours sincerely,
