C.W. WARD, Esq.,
Messrs. Park Ward Ltd.,
473 High Road - Willesden,
LONDON, N.W. 10.

Dear Mr. Ward,

I have succeeded in finding some more steel for the Myth bodies.

You will see that there is a variaty of thicknesses and, although they are not quite to specification, it is the best I can do. If your people will use a thinner gauge than is specified rather than thicker, it will be all right.

You will see that there is no .028, but I think you will find that there will be enough to do the job in the original consignment.

Yours sincerely,
