Further to my Bs{A J. Barnes - Assistant Manager}8/KW15.1.41. I have now received a letter from Mr.Boddy dated 20th January, from which the following is an extract :-

" I shall send a copy of the Mark V test report to Mr.Robotham
" at Belper in the course of next few days. I think there
" will just be time to include it in the February issue.

" I propose to put Mr.Robotham's own article into this issue,
" as it could not be got into the January issue, to invite him
" to comment in print if he wishes on our test impressions, and
" to include a description of the Merlin engine. So it will
" be quite a Rolls-Royce number.

" The article on Rolls-Royce history under the heading " On
" Something in the English Tradition", appears in the January
" issue just published.

Since Mr. Boddy is proposing to submit a copy of his article to you, you will now have the opportunity of dealing with any aspect of it with which you are not in agreement.

I have not yet received copies of the January issue of "Motor Sport", but I have a note to forward a copy to you when they come to hand.

Bs.{A J. Barnes - Assistant Manager} SS{S. Smith}
