Rm {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} 3/R.

9th December, 1938.

Mr. R. {Sir Henry Royce} Pattinson,
Pat's House,
Queen's Drive,
LITTLEOVER, Nr. Derby.

Dear Pattinson,

I understand from Dr. Shearwood and Dr. Laurie that the latest X-Ray photograph of your arm shows that the bone graft has been most successful.

I am delighted to hear this, especially as Dr. Shearwood now says that you can start doing some clerical work right away, and that you should be 100% for ordinary work in three to six months.

I shall be glad to see you any time on Tuesday to discuss the next step. I shall be at the Works all day.

Yours sincerely,
