Copy to Wor. {Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} Hs. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} BY. {R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} H. {Arthur M. Hanbury - Head Complaints}

Please arrange to discuss this matter at an early date with Wor. {Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} , Hs. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} and BY, and forward me a report of what is being done to find a cure, and whether you see the probability of finding a cure soon.
