Dear H.J.
The 20 H.p. Lidsey brought down very good, it is lively and full of pep, at the right moment, so pleased with it.
I found Lidsey not very well in my opinion can you spare him for a week at Whitsuntide and let him have a car that wants running

Page 2:
it will do him good and be a pleasure for me, no use sending the 20 H.p. we should not run it enough.
so pleased that things in the Experimental line are booming. glad the news of R.{Sir Henry Royce} Engine. sorry I must not talk shop. do please arrange for Lidsey to come.
Yours Sincerely
A H Normald
P.S.
Could you spare a decent looking big car for Whitsun.
