Dear Dr Wallace

In further reference to your correspondence re hulls of vessels many say [illeg.] should[.] Jan be in the North at any time[.] I hope you will let me know & if possible pay us a visit[.]

I hope Jan will keep this in mind should an opportunity occur, it would [illeg.] interest [2] you to have a man in the Turbines should she be in commission at the time or if later on must spring in one of the large vessels being [illeg.] with Turbine engines.

Believe me | yours very truly | Charles A. Parsons2 [signature]
