Dear Dick,

Your letter under the "nom de plume" of Rolyat, published in "The Autocar" of Jan. 7th has created quite a stir and we have been asked to submit sufficient information for an article on E.R. Hall's Bentley to be published in this paper.

There is a letter from Mr. Hampton in the issue of Feb. 14th, which quotes the Bugatti as being faster than the Bentley in the T.T.

I would be much indebted to you if you would forward the attached letter to the Editor of the Autocar, under the name of Rolyat.

Yours sincerely,
