Re. Your letter Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Gry.{Shadwell Grylls}17/R.6.I.37.

Enclosed herewith the corrected copy of first page of the report on 22.G.V. The actual figures have been inserted in type.

The mistake lay in that the previous figures were given as round numbers, and naturally did not total up to the actual mileage.

We have no record of the letter which states that the valve stuck at 1925 miles.
