PRIVATE & CONFIDENTIAL. J.{Mr Johnson W.M.} 14.7.14. R.{Sir Henry Royce} We shall be glad to know whether Mr. Royce wishes any further test or experiment to be made with the Wolseley car, because if not, we are of the opinion that this car should be sold while it is still fairly new and valuable. We should also like to know whether we may sell the old Daimler and Lanchester. p.
