GLIDER LAUNCHING WINCH.

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,
