To R.{Sir Henry Royce} from CJ.

when you have finished with them, should return directly to Derby.
I have to go to Liverpool to-morrow.

In any case I am quite in accord with your proposals and I shall be seeing you, I hope, on Tuesday.

So far as I can understand, Firth's position is that they cannot afford to continue to make a series of sample springs of different designs for us and that their finances will not allow them to do anything except to make springs of a definite design which has been decided upon by us and for which we are prepared to give a considerable order.

I should think they are very short of money and that their attitude is reasonable.

We must be careful that we do not fall down between two stools.

CJ.

Eno.
