| Y 10'31. Ha/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}5/AD. November 9th, 1932. R.H.S. Buckle Esq. Yardley Villa, Arnot Hill Rd. Daybrook, Nottingham. Dear Sir, With reference to the interview I had with you today. I have been making further enquiries and find that you have the use of only one hand. Whilst this would not necessarily be a complete handicap in the position we propose to offer you, it does appear to be rather a serious matter. We therefore think that you should seriously consider the question of whether you are likely to be able to do the work we have to offer before you relinquish your present job. We shall be glad to hear further from you on the subject. Yours faithfully, FOR ROLLS-ROYCE LIMITED. | ||
