W.A. Robotham Esq.,
Messrs. Rolls-Royce Ltd.,
DERBY.

Dear Mr. Robotham,

I thank you for your letter of the 29th ult.

I am afraid that we have lost about a week on the 3½ litre models and the first cars will not be through until some time towards the end of next week.

It will therefore be approximately a fortnight before we can let you have a car.

Many regrets,

Kindest regards,

Yours sincerely,

W.D. Lyons
