5th May, 1941.

Messrs. Wilmot-Breeden Ltd.,

Attention of Mr. Spicer.

Dear Mr. Spicer,

COLOURED KNOBS - We have now received the samples of coloured handles, and we have come to the conclusion that, for the time being, black will be most suitable. We are sending the samples to our Despatch Department, to be returned to you complete with labels attached.

REAR BOOT LOCK - We think, from the blue print, the boot lock appears to be what we are after. The next important thing is when do we see a sample?

The Chevin Golf Course is looking very nice now and I am wondering when you are coming over to give me a lesson in how golf should be plaid.

Kind regards,

Yours sincerely,
