G.H.Grylls, Esq.,
Messrs. Rolls-Royce, Ltd.,
Derby.

Dear Mr. Grylls,

I am much obliged for your letter of March 12th in reply to mine to Robotham, and I note the chassis should leave the works in eight or nine weeks' time.

Robotham had most kindly promised to keep an eye on it for me, as Mr. H.C.Drayton is not only a great friend of mine but I think will also be a very valuable client of yours, and I am very anxious that he should have, if possible, a particularly good chassis. I should be very grateful if, in the event of Robotham not being back in time, you could perhaps try it yourself before it leaves the works.

With many apologies for troubling you,

Yours sincerely,

Rothes.
