| 1021' Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/EAG.3/ET. 19th January, 1942. C.W. WARD, Esq., Messrs. Park Ward Ltd., 473, High Road, Willesden, LONDON N.W. 10. Dear Mr. Ward, I should be glad to know if you have been able to find a piece of red leather cloth that is anything like a match for the small sample which I gave you on my last visit to your works. Since seeing you I have measured up the quantity required, which is roughly about 2 1/2 yards. If you will let me know if you have any-thing you could let me have that is a near match, I should be obliged. Regarding the photographs of the model tank, these have been taken, but I do not think we shall get them until towards the end of the week. However, as soon as they arrive, you can depend on me sending them along. Yours sincerely, | ||
