4. BRAMSHOTT OLD MILL, NEAR LIPHOOK, HAMPSHIRE. I get the impression from some of the head men in London that they really don't care two hoots about the cars, as they are now but a side line. I think that this attitude is losing them business, and from my own point of view confess that unless the attitude alters my next car will not have been made in Derby. I spent ten days last year fishing at Lake Vyrnwy. An old gentleman of your name was there, I wondered whether he was a relation. It is a very good spot and I enjoyed my stay. You will see that I have a new house. It stands about a mile from the main London - Portsmouth road. If you ever are in this part of the world, do let me know. I shall always be glad to see you and pleased to offer you your hospitality. Kindest regards, Yours sincerely, E.R. Thomas | ||
