Mrs. Smedley,
The Gables,
5, Foundry Lane,
BELPER.

Dear Madam,

With reference to your letter of August 12th. re collection for comforts for local servicemen, it is not the practice of the Company to allow collecting boxes on their premises.

There is, however, no reason why a collection should not be made as employees leave work, provided that the collector is not on the Rolls Royce premises.

Yours faithfully,

for ROLLS ROYCE LTD.,
