Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}

Glad to hear that you got the Vulture running, I was afraid it would be a rough job. I don't see how we can ever run our 4 1/4 bore Cyl above 5 1/2 C/R.{Sir Henry Royce}
We shall have to jump about with the 12 cyl. I think that with the fall of the dollar we may hear more of the American Car during the next twelve months, some of them are so good they make you wish you could put the R.R. radiator on them.
R.H.C. has been at Indianapolis all this week but I expect he will rejoin me shortly.
