My. and myself propose coming to W.W. with Goshawk 11. arriving there on Wednesday morning the 23rd. inst.

The car is now considerably improved from when you last tried it. We have now fitted the engine with a proper friction damper. This is overcoming practically all the rattles which were in the engine.
