H. {Arthur M. Hanbury - Head Complaints} Adkins, Esq.,
Messrs. J.S. Inskip, Inc.

Dear Mr. Adkins,

Replying to your letter of August 13th, you are correct in assuming that it is quite impossible to adapt Knee-Action to the 30 H.P. chassis.

Obviously it is impossible to broadcast our future intentions with regard to design, but I can tell you, confidentially, that the 25/30 at this year's Motor Show will not have Knee-Action.

We hope to see you or Inskip over here in the Fall. If Inskip does not come over his chances of getting a left-hand P.III within a reasonable period of time are not very good.

Yours sincerely,
