| X1812b GEORGE ROBERTS, c/o PEEK, FREAN & CO. LTD., DRUMMOND ROAD, LONDON, S.E.16. TELEGRAMS: "PICKAXE, LONDON" TELEPHONE: 3570 HOP (EIGHT LINES) LONDON/S.E. 16. 23rd September 1921 Messrs. Rolls-Royce, Ltd., Nightingale Road, Derby. Your Refce. Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} 4/LG. Dear Sirs, Our letters of yesterday have crossed one another. The Sparking Plugs in question were despatched to you on the 12th July last, in a registered Postal packet for which I hold receipt No.296 from the Southwark Park Road Post Office. It is, therefore, highly probable that the parcel duly reached your Works and was mislaid after arrival there. In my covering letter to you of the same date (of which I enclose a copy herewith), I advised you of the despatch of these samples, as you will see after perusal of the letter. Should you, however, be unable to trace the Plugs, please let me know and I will endeavour to get a further set over for you. Awaiting your news, I am, Yours truly, George Roberts | ||
