Dear Toseland,

I have just received a telegram from Summers in which he informs me that the first twenty "Gladiator" aircraft have been tested, gun installation completeu, and handed over to the Chinese. I understand that they have been flown to some unamed destination in the North.

Summers and the mechanics are returning to Hong Kong to await the arrival of the second batch due at the end of the month.

Will you please advise all interested.

Yours sincerely,

(Signed).
