ROLLS ROYCE Ltd. 14/15, Conduit Street. W.1. My dear Lord Herbert, Referring to our conversation on Thursday last regarding the two new sizes of tyres which Messrs. Rolls Royce Ltd. are requiring, and about which they were kind enough to write us last month, I have asked our General Sales Manager, Mr. P. W. Howard, to give this matter his personal attention and to make a special visit to Derby to discuss the question with Mr. Robotham. If it would not be troubling you too much, I should be grateful if you would be good enough to ask Mr. Robotham to write a line to Mr. Howard saying whether Friday next (January 21st) or the following Monday (January 24th) would be convenient for him to receive Mr. Howard at Derby. If these dates are not convenient to Mr. Robotham, perhaps he would be kind enough to suggest an alternative day during next week other than Wednesday. With kind regards, Yours sincerely, Walrond Sinclair WS/AP | ||
