Dear Leslie, Would you be so good as to send this letter to "The Autocar". It is actually a mild piece of propaganda to help us to get an article printed on the Bentley. If you could get it typed on your own note paper, it would impart an air of veracity to the context. I hope you enjoyed your visit to the Crewe Factory. Have you managed to get any information from Geoffrey Mander? Yours sincerely, | ||
