Dagenham,
Essex.

Dear Mr. Howard,

Many thanks for the hospitality shown to me during my visit to Dagenham. Perhaps you will also convey to Mr. Page my thanks for the information he supplied about your back axle, which we shall find most useful.

There is one more piece of information which would be of help to us, and that is the tool cost for rolling the taper tubes each side of the axle. If by any chance you know anyone in England other than yourselves who can do this operation, we should be very glad to hear who they are.

Please let me know when you are going to be in this part of England, and if in any way we can reciprocate all your kindness.

Yours sincerely,

FOR ROLLS-ROYCE LIMITED.
