H.Sammons,Esq.,
Armstrong Whitworth Securities Co.,
Thames House,
Westminster.

Dear Sammons,

I have had several talks with Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} since he received your letter of the 8th. March, setting down the terms of your proposed Kadenacy agreement.

I am afraid you have overwhelmed him by suggesting a precise agreement about a patent the definition of which is still somewhat obscure, and that unless you can get a very much simpler and more flexible scheme drawn up he will not go ahead.

Yours sincerely,
