Letter from [Frederick William] Lanchester, 41 Bedford Square, to the Assistant Secretary of the Royal Society, Burlington House 'Dear Sir, Many thanks for yours of the 25th, instant. There is no need to apologise for having addressed me as O.B.E. I believe it is judged to be a very great honour. For those who like this sort of thing it is just about the thing they do like. I only mentioned it as I did not wish to risk being incorrectly described in the coming Year Book. Yours very truly, W.W.Lanchester'. 29 May 1922
