Hives Esq., Messrs. Rolls-Royce Ltd., (Expl. Dept.) Derby. Dear Mr. Hives, As I arranged with somebody in your Department on Saturday, I am bringing in the car to Derby to-morrow, Tuesday. Would you have lunch with me at the Midland Hotel at about 1.00 p.m.? I should like to have a chat with you, and I want to catch the 3.30 train for London, so if you could manage to come to lunch it would save that much time. I shall be at our Shelton Works at Stoke-on-Trent to-morrow morning, so perhaps if you are not able to come to lunch you will be good enough to give me a ring there - the telephone No. is Hanley 5321. If I do not hear anything from you, I shall expect you at the hotel. Yours sincerely, Richard Summers Director. RFS/HC. | ||
