| The Royal Automobile Club. Pall Mall, London, S W. 1. Please address all Communications to THE SECRETARY Quoting the following Reference C / 26837 / AWP/KM Telegrams: AUTOMOBILE, LONDON. Telephone: WHITEHALL 2345 (26 lines). 1204 26th August 1937 W.A. Robotham Esq., Rolls-Royce Ltd., Derby. Dear Mr. Robotham, I am in receipt of your letter of 24th August and have pleasure in enclosing herewith 6 Admission Tickets to Donington Park, 6 Car Park discs, and I have given instructions for 6 "Privilege" armlets to be sent you direct from the makers. These latter will not of course admit to the Park, but they will give you complete freedom to move about wherever you may desire in order to see the race. I have not yet heard from the Duke of Richmond who I am hoping will agree to open the new section of the course, and therefore cannot say what arrangements I have to make regarding transport. At the same time I am most grateful to you for offering to provide a Bentley car, and immediately I have definite news regarding this matter, will get in touch with you. I am going to Donington on Monday next and shall be staying at the Midland Hotel, Derby, throughout the week. Yours sincerely, AWPhillips Enc. | ||
