ENGINES F/ET/81. 5th June, 1940. W. A.{Mr Adams} Robotham, Esq., Messrs. Rolls-Royce Ltd., DERBY. Dear Robotham, Many thanks for your letter of the 14th May, which I found awaiting me this week-end on my return from America. I quite realise your difficult position about getting any cars made just at the present time. I think the question of mileage could be dealt with satisfactorily. There is no hurry for the next few weeks, but I want to get the matter settled before we get on to the Winter, so if, sometime during the next month or two, you would let me have a definite answer I should be grateful, so that I may arrange accordingly. Yours sincerely, [Signature] | ||
