Dear Miss Nichols,

Thank you for your letter and I am very glad you enjoyed your flight with me, though I could only give very short ones.

I expect I shall be at Old Buckenham next year when you must make yourself known to me – or perhaps you would come to this aerodrome some time for another flight.

Yours sincerely

Dear Madam,

With reference to your letter addressed to Mr. Alex Henshaw in connection with his recent Cape Flight, I have pleasure in advising you that the contents of same have been personally noted by him.

Mr. Henshaw wishes to express his regrets at the delay in acknowledging your letter, caused through the very large number of similar letters he has had to deal with, and pressure of business now necessitating his going abroad so soon after his return.

Mr. Henshaw begs to convey to you his very best thanks and sincere appreciation of your kind letter, and has pleasure in enclosing you his signed autograph herewith.

Yours faithfully,
p.p. Alex. Hemshaw

Miss. J.E.K. Nicholls,
