W. Boddy, Esq.,

S. Farnborough,
Hants.

Dear Mr. Boddy,

Many thanks for your letter of 2nd January to hand this morning.

I know it is unusual in the case of test reports to submit a draft before publication, but I hope in this case you will find it possible, bearing in mind that the car is a new type which is not yet in the hands of the Public. I feel sure Mr. Robotham would value your co-operation in this respect, even if it means that the article would be delayed until the following month.

I hope you did not mind my mentioning the cigar lighter. It is in any case only a minor matter, and can speedily be rectified.

Yours truly,
