GOSHAWK(Aero Engine)(Codename for 20HP Car / Aero Engine after Kestrel(Aero Engine)). Handwritten: X4240 Y4241

We have received a letter from West Wittering(Henry Royce's home town) this morning saying that Mr. Royce particularly wanted to try the Goshawk(Aero Engine)(Codename for 20HP Car / Aero Engine after Kestrel(Aero Engine)) limousine with the new dummy radiator and bonnet. We are therefore arranging for it to be taken down to him to-morrow.

As soon as he has finished with it he will send it back to the Works.
