| 1204? Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}1/MH.{M. Huckerby} 6th. August 1938. A.W.Phillips, Esq., The Royal Automobile Club, Pall Mall, LONDON, S.W.1. Dear Captain Phillips, Many thanks for your letter of 5th. August. I will immediately go into the matter and see what we can do about a car for you from Aug. 27th. to the 17th. Sept. I think there is no doubt at all that we shall be able to let you have a car for the Race, and I shall be very disappointed if we cannot fix you up for the whole of your holiday. Unfortunately I am going to be in Scotland during the Race this year, and am leaving on the 31st. However, if you are coming to Derby on the 27th. I shall hope to see you before I go away. I am so glad you got a good entry for the Race, but cannot help hoping that some day you will get back to the road circuit approaching the magnificent Ards course. If that ever happens I hope we shall be running. Yours sincerely, | ||
