Dear Robotham, I am coming up to Derby on Monday morning the 29th, and spending that night at Duffield Bank. I am proposing to go to the Works after lunch and shall hope to see you then. I think I shall get to Derby just in time for lunch and I wondered if you or Grylls or probably both would have lunch with me at the Midland Hotel? I wonder if you would mind telling Elliott that I shall be at the Works on Monday afternoon as I should like to see him for five minutes if he is not too super busy. Hoping to see you, Yours sincerely, G.R.N. Minchin | ||
