E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} Hives Esq. Experimental Engineer, Messrs. Rolls Royce Ltd. Derby. Dear Sir, I have just been talking over the telephone with our Nottingham agent, Mr. C. P. Evinson, and he tells me that you have been kind enough to express the wish to come up to Leyland and have a look round the Works. Please rest assured you will be very welcome at any time, and if you will let me have alternative dates, I will be only too pleased to make suitable arrangements so that I am here to receive you. Just one other point, if I may mention it, Mr. Evinson told me that he has just been given a run in one of your new 2½ litre Bentley chassis. I was just wondering whether you will be coming up on one of these when you visit us, as we should all like to see it. Yours faithfully, (M.R.PEASE) Sales Manager. | ||
