Dear Mr. Boddy,

Many thanks for your letter of 28th August 1941.

The notes on the "Corniche" Bentley looked quite well in Motor Sport and, if I could get half a dozen more copies of that issue (for which the Company are prepared to pay), I could pass them on to some of our more enthusiastic customers.

I cannot write much about our Experimental Cars, for obvious reasons, but I might give you a resume of a typical test on a new model Bentley before it reaches the hands of the public. I think this could be made quite interesting and, at the same time, educational. Anyhow I will put something down when I get a few spare moments, and you can let me know what you think about it.

Yours sincerely,
