A.{Mr Adams} Robotham Esq., Messrs. Rolls-Royce Limited, D E R B Y Dear Mr. Robotham, I have just received a cable from the States and it rather appears they are not making any Twin updraught carburetters at the moment. The cable, however, is not very clear, so I have asked for further information, but it does not look very hopeful at the moment. I am, however, doing my very best to obtain a carburetter for you and trust the delay will not put you to any great inconvenience. With kind regards, I remain, Yours sincerely, [Signature] TLT/GD. | ||
