PLEASE REPLY TO OUR REF LHP/KO. YOUR REF 4th October, 1935. N. Rowbotham Esq., Messrs. Rolls-Royce Ltd., D E R B Y. My dear Rowbotham, Would it be possible for you to stellite one dozen exhaust valves for us if we send them over to you. If so, would you kindly let me know where to send them. The announcement of the new Double-six looks most impressive and I am looking forward to seeing it. I had heard a rumour that it was to be called "The SpectreCodename for Phantom III", which I find on reference to the dictionary to mean "A phantom of the dead". I am not forgetting your suggestion that at Olympia we are to drink its health!!! Yours sincerely, (L. H.{Arthur M. Hanbury - Head Complaints} Pomeroy).
