Allan Swinden} 14/JH 12th January, 1939. Messrs. Rolls-Royce Ltd., DERBY. For the attention of Mr. T. Alan Swinden. Dear Sirs, With reference to your letter of the 7th instant and our telephone conversation of to-day's date, as the Writer has only just returned from the Midlands he thought it advisable to 'phone you as it would be impossible to get to your Works to-day. We understand, however, that probably Tuesday or Wednesday of next week will be convenient and that you will be writing to us. We also note that in regard to your recent order for three HaDees Heaters, you are retaining one and returning two as you require two of the Remote Control Motor type, which we are putting in hand immediately. You will, of course, appreciate that these Remote Control Heaters are handmade and we shall have to charge you a special price. Delivery will be about ten days. Yours faithfully, For S.SMITH & SONS (MOTOR ACCESSORIES) LIMITED. QS. To avoid delay all envelopes should be addressed to the firm. | ||
