561 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, | ||
