For the attention of Mr. C. Clench. Dear Sirs, In view of the price you have sent us for your Aluminium Brackets, we think we will delay ordering a second pair until we have completed some mileage on the first pair. In about a fortnight's time we shall know whether the brackets are ridiculously weak, or not. Yours faithfully, For ROLLS-ROYCE LTD. | ||
