January 14th. 1929.

We have finished overhauling the 20-HP and it is resuming the running to-day. We shall finish the 10,000 miles by approximately Sunday the 20th. The car will then be returned to England, and should arrive towards the end of the following week. The front wings, etc., have been repaired, and quite a good temporary job has been made.

We have started dismantling 18-EX. Will you please let us have the spare parts as you took a note of as soon as possible. We will telegraph if any further parts are wanted.

G.W.H.
