With reference to Cx{Major Len W. Cox - Advertising Manager}6/KW.26.7.38, I believe that we can release a Wraith at the beginning of September. We have one limousine body which is in excellent condition, and I am inclined to think that we might be able to hand that over to you and keep our 26.G. for experimental work.
