The writer will bring the new drawings mentioned with him, when he calls at your Works on Wednesday morning, January 12th, and he would be glad if you would arrange to have all the Short Wheelbase Bentley drawings you have in your possession, sorted out and heaped together, so that he can go through them, weeding out those that are obsolete as indicated in this memo, and explaining to you all the various changes that have taken place since this job first began.

It will not be necessary to build an entirely new Front End forward of the dash for this second dummy, because as soon as we have finished with the first dummy, and the body of 1.B.5. is delivered, you can modify the front end of No.1. dummy and apply it to the rear end of No.2. dummy.

Yours faithfully,
FOR ROLLS-ROYCE LIMITED.
