Letter to A. Healey, Esq. discussing competitor tyres for the Bentley.

I expect that we have, in some respects,
misjudged the Dunlop Co., but, quite honestly, we
sometimes feel that our volume of trade is so limited
that we are unlikely to benefit from anything but a
small fraction of the technical energy which is devoted
to the small car tyre size by your organisation.

The fact remains that in our opinion one of
your competitors has produced a tyre for the Bentley
which has shown itself to be superior to anything that
has been submitted from the Dunlop or IndiaProduction 20 HP. with 4-speed box and Front Wheel Brakes Tyre Co.

Yours sincerely,
