D.L.Frise,Esq.,
Bristol Aeroplane Co.,
Filton House,
BRISTOL.

Dear Frise,

Confirming our telephone conversation.
The days being short, I hope to come down to Bristol on Friday morning, and will be with you at about 11.30.a.m. I hope to leave about 1.30 because driving conditions are so bad at night and I want to be back before "Black-out".

I expect we can cover the ground in about half an hour and then I will get back.

Yours sincerely,

Dicated, but signed in Mr. Robotham's absence.
