To Ms. from Da.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}

Dall/CBG.2.20.

Replying to your Wn/MS1/FJS.1.20,
enclosing a letter from Messrs. Petár Haworth & Sons,
re our two-fold leather tool wallet. (we think that we far
as the arrangement of the tools are concerned this
wallet is about right, but we do not like the suggested
straps and nickal bar and should pefer two handles
like a Brief bag, made round and rather larger than
the sample. We are not sure that the strap is either
necessary or desirable, as the bad would mostly be carried
by means of the two handles. Since instructing this
wallet we have been compelled to add two more tools.
We have affected the alteration on the accompanying print
and we now suggest that Messrs. Haworth should provide us
with a finished sample of this wallet so that we can
send it down on one of Mr. Royce's cars, for his approval.)
