General Motors Ltd.,
Hendon.

For the attention of Mr. Fred Wright.

Dear Sir,

We should be glad if you could supply us with a spare connecting rod off a Cadillac car.

The rod we are interested in is the one in which there is a small hole drilled up the forging in order to supply oil to the gudgeon pin. We wish to shew it to our Works people. If you would kindly let us know whether you have such a rod we will send you an order to purchase one.

Yours faithfully,

For Rolls-Royce Ltd.
