28th July, 1937.

M.C. Wilks, Esq.,
The Rover Company, Ltd.,
COVENTRY.

Dear Wilks,

Thank you for your letter of July 27th.

I suggest August 25th, 26th or 27th for your Engineer's visit. I shall be away for a fortnight from September 3rd onwards.

Was talking to Oliver Lucas the other day, and he tells me that you have got an Oldsmobile. Shall be glad to give you any information we have on the car if you want to save yourselves trouble.

Are you proposing to get a power curve for the engine.

Yours sincerely,
