WOK/PG Date: 17th May......1939 SUBJECT Handwritten: A.F.M. Please write Perrot Dear Robotham, I haven't heard from you as to whether you want me to look up anything particularly whilst in the States. If you do, I wish you would let me know. I have just returned from Paris and I have a message from Henri Perrot, who says he believes the Rolls-Bentley brakes must have an exceptionally good piece of brake lining on them and he asked me whether I would ask you for any information that you care to let him have. If you would prefer to write to him direct, his address is:- 32, Rue Madame de Sanzillon, Clichy (Seine). As a matter of fact, I wish you would give him all the information you can because I feel they need it. I was only in Paris two days and was involved in two taxi accidents due to bad brakes. However, I must admit it was raining, but each time I go to Paris I get more and more frightened. Yours very sincerely, W.O. Kennington | ||
