J.N. Longley Esq.,
Messrs. Ferodo Ltd.,
Chapel-en-le-Frith.

Dear Mr. Longley,

We have decided to use Ferodo No.6 linings on the first at least of our production Phantom III cars. We understand that Messrs. Borg & Beck have accordingly placed an order for 50 sets.

As this matter is a very urgent one, we shall be glad if you will do your utmost to expedite delivery.

Yours faithfully,

FOR ROLLS-ROYCE LTD.
