Dear Minchin, Many thanks for your letter. Herewith a report on how to get economy out of a Bentley. I hope that it will be some use to you. We are all exceedingly disappointed that our work of the last 3 years was knocked on the head so suddenly, but we still have work to do which is more than can be said for many affected by the War. We have at least a very fine stable of prototypes which will be available at the outbreak of peace. Yours sincerely, | ||
