22nd. July 1938.

E.W.Seaholm, Esq.,
The Cadillac Motor Car Company,
Detroit,
Michigan,
U.S.A.

Dear Mr. Seaholm,

An American friend of ours who was in the factory yesterday, painted in the most glowing terms the new Cadillac coachwork with no running boards.

We are wondering whether you could send us some photographs of cars of this type.

I see that the flexible flywheel is now on production on your V.8. We are still experimenting on modifications to it.

Yours sincerely,
