27th January, 1938.

W.C. Devereux, Esq.,
High Duty Alloys Ltd.,
Bucking Avenue Trading Estate,
SLOUGH, Bucks:

Dear Mr. Devereux,

We are arranging for a set of large wheels and tyres for your Bentley, for which you asked, to be sent to Kingsbury, and when they arrive there we have asked our Experimental Representative, Mr. Hancock, to communicate with you. If you will let him have your car he will fit the tyres.

In order to keep the steering reasonably light with the bigger section covers, it is necessary to make a modification to the steering. This can be done at the same time as the tyre change.

Yours sincerely,
