| CADILLAC MOTOR CAR COMPANY DETROIT, MICHIGAN CADILLAC AND LASALLE MOTOR CARS November 3, 1933. Mr. W. A.{Mr Adams} Robotham, Rolls Royce, Limited, Derby, England. My dear Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}: Thank you for the good time you showed Seaholm and Thompson. They brought back kind memories of England and enthusiasm for the Bentley. Seaholm makes this suggestion. You want a good look at a Cadillac 12 and we want a good look at a Bentley. Neither of us wants to spend money unnecessarily. Why not swap? You could take the 12 back when you are through with your trip and we could keep the Bentley. Then if it suited you we could swap back whenever suited your convenience. I don't know, of course, whether this is practical. Your Bentley may be off standard and have a lot of stuff on it you don't want us to see. However, it is a suggestion. Sincerely, Maurice Olley Maurice Olley fe | ||
