For the attention of Mr.Hunt.

Dear Sirs,

I enclose a copy of our Inspector's report of the first frame. As mentioned yesterday, the first 2 items are the only major faults.

I have got agreement for you to spend £50 on tools for the next frame, drawings for which were left with you yesterday. We shall be sending you a covering order for the first frame when your quotation arrives, but it is quite likely that we shall want 3 of these frames.

I am enclosing 2 new prints of the gussets FB.3466/7. These have a slight modification at the front end. Will you please destroy the previous prints.

Yours faithfully,

FOR ROLLS-ROYCE LIMITED.
