I am anxious to have your separate opinion as to what you think might be the best way to deal with this situation. We have practically decided that this new Trials Landaulet (body by Hooper) cannot be used for demonstration purposes unless some means can be found to improve its riding comforts. From the above, you will see we have found a means of doing this, but as we are not able to put a car on the road without spare wheels, and as we are not likely to be willing to load up a car thus affecting its best performance in order to make the springs comfortable, the situation is somewhat [Strikethrough: complexed]. In any case, it is very urgent.

P.N.
