In regard to our telegraph of the 16th inst.,
reading (last sentence)

" If 2301 not wanted Wolseley (not Wilseley taken to mean Wilson) can return with Waldron "

the Wolseley is now doing nothing, and we await your instructions.

R. {Sir Henry Royce}

I will continue to use 2301 if it is preferable to keep 2704 on the road continuously. I should like 2704 some week ends to be here so that I could test a few of the parts for myself. I have not much time for testing during the week. Actually I only require a car for Saturday afternoon.
