Dear Mr. Robotham, Many thanks for your communication which I received yesterday, although I notice it is dated the 2nd. I would like to come to see you on Wednesday next, the 15th inst., travelling on the usual train, arriving about 1 p.m., which enables me to be at your Works immediately after lunch. Perhaps you will be good enough to confirm if this date and time will be suitable to you; if not, will you suggest an alternative. Yours sincerely, H.B.Brooks | ||
