Dear Rothes,

Many thanks for your letter of March 28th.

I will go into Mr. Thorne's troubles assoon as I know what they are.

With regard to the Bentley and road racing, at the moment the decision is that the Bentley will not run at Ulster but it is possible that the position may alter before the actual race. Anyhow I will let you know nearer the time. It is certain that it will not participate in any other road race with our agreement.

Yours sincerely,
