17th September 1940.

Messrs Rolls Royce Limited.

DERBY.

Dear Sirs,

For the attention of Mr Rowbotham.

We thank you for your letter of the 11th Sept: and the information contained therein. We propose to design a lightweight ammunition box and will try to obtain the Admiralty's sanction for its use. If you have already schemed out anything along these lines we would like to have a drawing of it so that we will overlap as little as possible.

Yours faithfully.
P.p. The British Power Boat Company Limited.

G.S. Selman.
Naval Architect.
