Thanks for Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}2/MJ.13.10.30. As I note you would much prefer to have the car at Derby to change the springs, I will arrange to send it up but wait to hear when the springs are actually ready.

I note that you would like to fit the car with the air silencer and I am quite agreeable to this.

I shall be interested to hear the result of the test made at Brooklands with a view to measuring the difference in performance with and without the silencer.

Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD}
