We send you these two parts herewith which we shall be glad if you will examine and report on as quickly as possible. It appears that J.{Mr Johnson W.M.} has wired direct to our man for a full report which our man has now posted to him, and of which he is sending us a copy. Our man will, however, only be able to relate to J.{Mr Johnson W.M.} exactly what steps he took to put the matter right, and on receipt of our man's report we feel J.{Mr Johnson W.M.} will ask us for a further report as to why the parts failed. Will you therefore please let us have your report as quickly as possible to enable us to reply to J's note when it arrives as we feel sure it will.? EP{G.
