| ROLLS-ROYCE OF AMERICA, INC. SPRINGFIELD, MASS. X1357 Na{Mr Nadin}3B122228 W. December 22nd. 1928. Mr. Robotham, ROLLS-ROYCE LTD., Derby, England. RE: HEADLAMPS Dear Sir, Further to our memo of November 22nd, Ref:- Na{Mr Nadin}2B122228, we now learn that these lamps were shipped on the "Celtic", which went aground in Covh Harbor a few days ago. As it is very unlikely these lamps will be of any use, if they are recovered, we are ordering an additional set for you and will have them shipped as soon as possible. Yours faithfully, Thos. Nadin.
