B.B. Winter, Esq.,
Humber Ltd.,
COVENTRY.

Dear Winter,

Thank you for your letter referring to the 'Super Snipe'.

I should very much like to come over with the car myself when it is brought back and bring Grylls with me, with a view to talking motor-cars generally, and gearboxes in particular. We propose to come on Friday, January 6th. Should, for any reason, this be inconvenient I should be very glad if you would let me know.

We will bring a Wraith over so that you can try this if you have not already done so.

Yours sincerely,
