Dear Mr. Nicholls, Thank you for your letter of the 23rd May. As I explained to you, one cannot expect to get immediate delivery of a Bentley and at the same time get a lot of discount. With regard to the earliest possible delivery of a chassis in the ordinary way, I suggest that you communicate with Mr. Cowen or Mr. Bleaney in our London office, and they will be able to tell you what could be done. Yours faithfully, FOR ROLLS-ROYCE LIMITED. | ||
