Sir Denistoune Burney,
Broadway Court,
8, Broadway,
Westminster.

Dear Sir Denistoune Burney,

Very many thanks for your letter of the 11th.inst. I will certainly take the opportunity of passing this information on, as I think it is exceedingly interesting. It may be some time before I can let you have our criticisms on it. Do you wish us to return the copy of the paper, if so, how long can we keep it.

We should very much like to see you any time at the Works, and can assure you that technically we are still keenly ineterested and will be pleased to help you in any way we can.

It has been decided that Mr. Rowbotham will go out to the States some time in January, and we have some very good friends in the. General Motors who I am sure will be intensly interested in this car because they have been struggling against fundamental difficulties.

Yours faithfully,

For Rolls-Royce Ltd.
