Please quote our reference: M.{Mr Moon / Mr Moore} 1. 17th. January 1933 H.{Arthur M. Hanbury - Head Complaints} E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} West Esq., Messrs. Rolls-Royce Ltd., DERBY. Dear Mr. West, Many thanks for your letter of the 16th. inst. So many things have happened to prevent my going to Derby, as I intended, that I am wondering if there is any possibility of your being in London in the near future? Perhaps you will be good enough to let me know. If not, I will endeavour to arrange to visit Derby sometime the week after next. Yours very truly, A.{Mr Adams} Gordon Smith Managing Director | ||
