Messrs Rolls Royce Limited, Motor Car Manufacturers, DERBY. Dear Sirs, For the attention of Mr. Iles or Mr. Robotham. The last time the Writer was in Nottingham and in conversation with Mr. Oscroft, he suggested that we should get in touch with you with a view to fixing an appointment, whereby you could examine our coach-work as supplied to Messrs Oscroft on the Vauxhall chassis, which is of the four door close-coupled type, and Mr. Oscroft suggested that same might be suitable for the new Rolls-Bentley chassis. This may, or may not be so - we cannot say, but our Mr. Holbrook promised Mr. Oscroft that he would communicate with your Principals and we therefore take this opportunity of enclosing herewith interior and exterior photographs of a coupe' body we have delivered this week to Messrs Haines and Strange, fitted to a six litre Bentley. If this matter is of interest to you, the Writer would be very pleased to make an appointment and we feel sure that the quality of our coach-work would be to your satisfaction together with our keenly competitive prices. Trusting to be favoured with your reply. Yours faithfully, FOR SAMUEL HOLBROOK LIMITED: S. HOLBROOK MANAGING DIRECTOR.
