Dear Viale,

Many thanks for your letter of the 4th February.

I have told Captain Nannini of your kind offer of assistance regarding the installation of their gun at Hucknall, and I am very grateful for your help over this matter. I have handed over all the arrangements for getting this work done to my Air Gunnery Technical Board, under Admiral Osborne. Actually W/Cdr.{W. J. Chandler - Chief Clerk} Hopkins of R.D.Arm.1. is handling the matter himself.

2. Regarding your letter about ammunition, I have also passed this on to W/Cdr.{W. J. Chandler - Chief Clerk} Hopkins and asked him to let you know direct what he can do over the supply of ammunition. I have also asked him to treat this as an urgent matter.

Yours sincerely,

P. Huskinson.
