Re. Car for Mr.Royce.

Wor.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} 29.7.13.

We have received a telephone communication from Mr.Cowen that Mr.Royce has informed them he required a car for Saturday morning next at 10.a.m. to be at the Angel Hotel, Peterboro' at that time.

This is to be an open car with cape cart hood, wind screen, light springing is to be provided. (because, we understand from the message, he cannot put up with any other)

He suggest that you put on his own little motor car body which we understand you have, but in any case it must be open.

Mr.Royce suggests that you send the car with a new radiator as he has not seen it yet and he also wants to see what we call the right springing.

Please say, as quickly as possible, this afternoon, what can be done as I have to convey your decision at once.

Sn.{Mr Sanderson}

This sheet must be filed with the correspondence to which it refers.
