Typed body: We have been asked by Mr. Martin-Hurst, as per correspondence attached, if we can provide them with a unit for the Weybridge Cottage Hospital. When we change over from the aluminium to the cast iron engine, we shall, undoubtedly, have several units available for which there will be no use, and which will, therefore, have to be scrapped. Under the circumstances we think that we can release this old engine out of Sg{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD}'s car if the Administration agrees to present it to the Hospital.
