My dear Davidson,

Dr. Llewellyn Smith of this Company will be in the States during the next few weeks, and will be enquiring about the Diesel engine which we provisionally ordered from General Motors Corporation.

I should be very grateful if you could give him all the information available on this subject.

Yours sincerely,
