R2/M24.5.23.

We are expecting you here any time now, and possibly Rg. {Mr Rowledge} wishes to come as soon as convenient.
Perhaps you could see him and arrange something.
The Goshawk(Aero Engine)(Codename for 20HP Car / Aero Engine after Kestrel(Aero Engine)) you are bringing should replace the one which is here, which has a very ugly Mulliner body, with Beatonson head.

R. {Sir Henry Royce}
