| Ford Motor Company, Ltd. DAGENHAM, ESSEX. TELEPHONE, RAINHAM 300. 6 Nov 1935 A-2 W A Robotham Esq Messrs Rolls-Royce Limited DERBY Dear Mr Robotham: In reply to your letter of the 4th instant, I shall be very pleased to give Mr Grylls a letter of introduction to Mr Sheldrick who is head of the Engineering Department at Dearborn. I am not sure that this will result in a particularly satisfactory contact, however, from Mr Grylls' standpoint as Mr Sheldrick works with Mr Ford personally most of his time, and for this reason hardly ever moves away from his department, nor is he available for many minutes at a time. If Mr Grylls wishes to see the Ford organisation and the plant, much the better way would be for me to give him a letter to Mr Sorensen's office in order that he can be conducted over any part of the organisation that he particularly wishes to see. Perhaps you will advise me in due course which of these suggestions commends itself to you. Yours very truly FORD MOTOR COMPANY LIMITED A R Smith General Manager ARS:H | ||
