W. A.{Mr Adams} Robotham Esq.,
Messrs. Rolls-Royce, Ltd.,
Derby.

My dear Robotham,

Many thanks for your letter of the 11th inst. returning therewith the publicity matter which I sent you for perusal, and I am quite in agreement with what you have to say.

We can make these amendments in the brochure when reprints are needed.

Now with regard to the visit to your Works, I want Mr. Watkinson, Foundry Manager, and Mr. Plummer, Chemist, to make, any day that is suitable to you will be convenient to my people, but I do want them to see your Foundry cast some AC.9 Bearings. If you will be good enough to send me a wire that you will be casting on such and such a day, I will arrange for my people to come along. A wire the day before you are going to cast will be quite sufficient.

Yours sincerely,
[Signature]

[Handwritten note]
C.T.S -
Please contact Wheeler and let me know when they are casting next;
We should not do a special cast - for Wellworthy's. Run.
