Dear Cy,

Thank you so much for your cable, re electric storage battery Co. which gave me the information required.

We should have this skid pan ready in the next few weeks, and we ought to be getting some information.

As far as I can see at the moment, we shall be having a major European crisis before Christmas. We have been sitting on the Volcano for so long that we shall be surprised when the eruption finally takes place.

My kindest regards to yourself and your family.

Yours sincerely,
