| Charles Worcester & Co., FINE ART PUBLISHERS, AND PLATINOTYPE PRINTERS. TELEGRAMS "PLATINUM, BRISTOL." Telephone No., 1634 Bristol. V4199. Montague Place, Kingsdown, Bristol. 2nd July, 1930. Mr. E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} W. Hives, Experimental Department, Messrs. Rolls-Royce, Ltd., Nightingale Road, Derby. Dear Mr. Hives, Many thanks for yours re the photograph, it seems it was a cutting given to Gertrude by somebody in Windermere, and very likely might be a local paper of that district. I had looked through the London papers and some of the Yorkshire ones and then sent it on to you in case you might know it, but I think it's too big a job to find out. If it was a local one I suppose Mr. Herbert in Windermere would know it, say we try him and if that fails, give it up. I am very grateful to you for taking all this trouble over it. Yours sincerely, C. J.{Mr Johnson W.M.} Worcester. | ||
