M/5. 1067 20th June, 1941. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} W.A. Robotham, Esq., Messrs. Rolls-Royce, Ltd., DERBY. Dear Robotham, I have had a letter from Mr. Sidgreaves saying that it would suit him better to put me up on the night of the 26th and that the afternoon of the 26th would do just as well for you. I will therefore come over in the morning of the 26th and be with you for lunch and if you could tell me where to go to meet you, I will arrange accordingly. Mr. Sidgreaves said something about you being at Belper but perhaps you lunch at Derby? As posts are bad and I may possibly start on [word crossed out] Wednesday and stay the night somewhere, would you mind telegraphing me telling me where to go. Looking forward to seeing you, Yours sincerely, G.R.N. Minchin | ||
