Title	Letter from Charles Algernon Parsons, C A Parsons and Company Limited, Heaton Works, Newcastle-on-Tyne, to [Dugald] Clerk
Date	17 June 1915
Description	He has wired to cancel the order for 25 motors and will cancel other parts, following Clerk's letter. The instructions will delay delivery of 50 or 100 and increase the cost. Expresses his disappointment that the firm's reputation is not trusted in 'a trivial contract of under £10,000'. He had been pushing the project through under the instruction that the matter was urgent.
