Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}15/R.{Sir Henry Royce}

30th July, 1937.

The Earl of Rothes,
Brocklehurst-Whiston Amalgamated Ltd.,
47, Gresham Street, E.C.2.

Dear Lord Rothes,

Thank you for your letter of July 29th.

I am sorry you will not be coming this way as I have several plants in the garden which would interest you.

Your cottage sound most intriguing, and I would very much like to see it, but am afraid the prospects of so doing are somewhat remote as I go to Scotland on the 3rd September, and am going to the Continent next week, so that in between I shall have just about as much as I can handle at the Factory.

However, if by any freak of chance I am able to get away I will let you know. I enjoy sleeping out this weather.

Yours sincerely,
