| Bs{A J. Barnes - Assistant Manager}3/KW7141 7th January, 1941. Dictated 6.1.41. W. Boddy, Esq., 129, Fleet Road, 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, | ||
