Extract from Memo. from R.{Sir Henry Royce} to CJ.

To CJ from R.{Sir Henry Royce}

PRIVATE AND CONFIDENTIAL.
TO DIRECTORS ONLY.

My dear CJ.,

If you or my Co-Directors wish, I except to be able to attend the Board Meeting suggested for the 7th prox. in London, but as the general election on the 6th Dec. is of some considerable importance I shall be glad if you will re-arrange the date if necessary to clear this event, unless it is in the afternoon.

I am quite satisfied that the matter of 3 or 4 speeds is beyond my control.

................

Yours ever, (in sadness)

R.{Sir Henry Royce}
