Thank you for your note of the 7th February. As you probably discovered when you came to the Works, I have been away for the past three months. Your remarks re the Terraplane are interesting The astounding thing is that these people are selling 1,000 cars a week in the United States. I hope we shall have an opportunity of meeting at Brooklands again this year to compare our own products with those of our competitors, do let me know if your brother finds anything interesting which you think we should try.
