| London, 19-1-44. Pte. Ignacio Saenz de Ferran n° 13053347 Army Church Paddington Station 1247 Dear Sir, I have the patent of a mechanism which eliminates the gear box and the clutch in the motor cars. I really think it may interest you. So, I would like to have an interview with a qualified person of the Rolls Royce firm to explain my invention. As it is not possible for me to leave London would you be so kind to arrange for me an appointment here as soon as possible? on account that my leave finishes on the coming 28th January. Yours faithfully Ignacio Saenz de Ferran | ||
