Attention of G. {Mr Griffiths - Chief Accountant / Mr Gnapp} Whyman Esq., Dear Sirs, We have much pleasure in acknowledging your letter of the 8th instant, and are very interested to have this news. As regards the air silencer for the Phantom III, we regret that we have not been able to do anything as yet in this direction, owing to pressure of experimental and production work on our own designs. Nevertheless we shall be pleased if you could leave your sample with us for a while longer. Yours faithfully, BURGESS PRODUCTS COMPANY LIMITED. [Signature] Director.
