Dear Buxton, Thank you for your letter of the 20th. November. As luck would have it, since last I saw you we have taken on a lot of design work for the Ministry of Supply, and how we shall squeeze your winch in I certainly do not know. However, we will do the best we can for you. Yours sincerely, | ||
