Dear Sirs,

With reference to the attached. The Clan Foundry premises were taken over by the above Firm some nine or ten months ago and have been converted into a subsidiary branch of Messrs Rolls Royce Ltd., Foundry work is no longer done here.

We are therefore returning your template.

The Firm occupying the Clan Foundry before we took over has now retired and we are unable to tell you whether or where their business is being carried on.

Yours faithfully,

for ROLLS ROYCE LTD.,
