[STAMP: JUN 19 1937]

The attached invoices indicate that Longs are charging us 64 dollars per clutch, which they made up for us in the States.

This is a lot of money, but they were hand made, and they went out of their way to do this job for us. Therefore, I do not see how we can do other than pay them the price they ask.

Rm. {William Robotham - Chief Engineer}

Agreed
