Wing Commander BUXTON,
Central Landing Establishment,
Royal Air Force,
Ringway Aerodrome,
near MANCHESTER.

Dear Buxton,

We are making a real effort on the winch and have six of our Design Section working at it.

It is a bigger job than I thought and will take about six weeks. How we shall get it made I do not know.

I would like you to come down and have a look at the drawings in about a month's time.

Yours sincerely,
