Dear Robotham, Very many thanks for your letter of February 3rd, and for the most useful information contained therein. In view of what you say I think we shall probably decide to have the car although I have not yet seen it myself. If we do have it, I should much prefer to have anything that requires doing, done in your Experimental Dept. at Derby, if this would not be putting you to too much trouble? I will let you know as soon as anything is definitely decided, but if you are in America by then with whom shall I communicate at Derby? We shall certainly look forward to seeing you for the Flower Show, but very much hope we may meet before then. Again very many thanks, Yours sincerely, Rothes | ||
