| BAYSWATER 4531. 261 (C3) 12, KENSINGTON PALACE GARDENS, W.8. December 29th, 1937. Dear Sir, I am requested by Lord Cholmondeley to thank you for your letter of December 22nd, and to let you know that he does not think it is worth while having new wheels, as he will be turning the car in to Bentleys about the 20th January. In the circumstances, therefore, Lord Cholmondeley thinks it would be best to put back his wheels, as they are red and match the front ones. I am also asked to say that Lord Cholmondeley expects you to charge him for the wear and tear on your tyres, which he will return in due course. Yours truly, Alice R.{Sir Henry Royce} Barnett. Secretary. W.A.Robotham, Esq. | ||
