Col. Inst. Pearce.

I am sending you the attached list of modifications I propose to make to my WO-II chassis which I trust you will not object to. To the best of my ability as far as I can see it, it means that the modifications boil down to one of adopting the later type of carburettor with its hot air pipe, and fitting the later type of clutch. I am anxious to know when the car will be ready for the road again, and would be very grateful if you would ask them to jog on with the work for me.

I spoke to you on the telephone last S. night to ask for your kind offices.
