Mr. Maton,
Pressed Steel Co.,
Cowley, OXFORD.

Dear Mr. Maton,

I have been trying to get in touch with you on the telephone this afternoon, but owing to the delay I was unable to do so.

I would like to come down and discuss the method of construction, metal gauges etc., of the Monocoque body, regarding which Mr. Speed called to see us a short time ago. As you know we are thinking of getting a sample body made, and before doing this, we should like to go into the details with you.

We should like to come down early next week, say Tuesday or Wednesday, if it is convenient for you would you mind calling me tomorrow morning Saturday on the telephone, or failing tomorrow, Monday morning.

Yours faithfully,
