Messrs. Rolls-Royce, Ltd.,
DERBY.

Dear Robotham,

Thank you for yours of the 22nd. I am coming by train from Birmingham on Monday morning getting to Derby some time between 11.30 and 12. I will go into the Midland Hotel and write some letters and wait there until either you or Grylls turn up and I hope you will be there.

Yours sincerely,

GRN Minchin
