Handwritten number top right: 82200. 10th June 1931. Messrs. Rolls-Royce Ltd., Derby. Dear Sirs, I must apologise for not having got in touch with you earlier with regard to a demonstration of the Maybach gearbox but as the car has not been available for several weeks, I was unable to carry out my intended visit. In order that no further delay should be caused, I am rather anxious to visit your Works at your earliest convenience, and I shall therefore be glad to hear from you what day will suit you best. Awaiting the favour of your reply with interest, Yours faithfully, E Schneider [Stamp: RECEIVED 11 JUN 1931] | ||
