Mr. Rowbotham,
c/o Detroit Athletic Club,
Detroit, Michigan.

Dear Mr. Rowbotham:

If you will call for Mr. Brodie when you get ready to go through the Packard plant, they will be glad to show you anything you want to see.

They aren't doing much in the aircraft department but I gathered from Mr. Brodie that what little they have there you could see if you wanted to, although I think it will just be a dead plant and that won't interest you much.

They do not work on Saturday at all so that any time after next Monday morning probably would suit them all right.

Very truly yours,

WILCOX-RICH CORPORATION
