Rolls-Royce Ltd., DERBY. Dear Mr. Robotham, I thank you for your letter of the 29th ult. I am afraid that we have lost about a week on the 3½ litre models and the first cars will not be through until some time towards the end of next week. It will therefore be approximately a fortnight before we can let you have a car. Many regrets, Kindest regards, Yours sincerely, W.D. Lyons | ||
