A.{Mr Adams} Robotham c/o Rolls-Royce, Ltd. Derby, England Dear Mr. Robotham: Complying with your instructions in your letter of May 24th, I have today sent to the Detroit Athletic Club a check in the amount of $50 on account of your indebtedness, and have requested them to send you the details of the account so that you may settle it direct. It is possible I may take a run up to Derby the first week in July and say "Hello" to you and your co-workers whom I have had the pleasure of meeting. My present plans are to sail on the S.S. Queen Mary on the 23rd of this month, and to spend just four or five days in London, which, of course, is hardly long enough, but I should certainly like to work in a trip to the factory. With kind regards, I am Yours very truly, Adele Preiss Secretary to Mr. Inskip D | ||
