To J. {Mr Johnson W.M.} from R. {Sir Henry Royce}

I have no objection, but why not a shutter bonnet, so that it can be closed in cold weather.

Something may be wrong with either the engine or the radiator, otherwise the statement seems exaggerated.

A cutout will probably improve matters somewhat and may please the driver and customer.

The Works should [struck-through text with 'seek' written above it] do something instead of writing so many sheets, they cost more money than the work.

I wonder how many would be found to be the total up to now, on this particular piece of work.

They really needed no information from me,

R. {Sir Henry Royce}
