W.A. Robotham Esq., Messrs. Rolls-Royce, Ltd., DERBY. Dear Robotham, You will remember that we were sharing a Studebaker car at the beginning of the war, which is now in your possession. It occurs to me that now would probably be a fairly propitious moment for disposing of this vehicle as I think they are fetching a reasonably high price, and it will probably be of no use to us at the end of the war. Will you let me know if you agree. Yours sincerely, M.C. Wilks | ||
