Engineer}, AK 11th October, 1938. S.H. Grylls, Esq., Rolls-Royce Limited, D E R B Y . My dear Grylls, I must in the first case apologize most profusely for my inability to reply to your letter of the 30th ult. earlier, but this has been due to circumstances out of my control, and which I will explain when I see you next, and as there does not seem any possibility of my getting to Derby before the Motor Show opens, I hope you will take an opportunity of calling up at our Stand at the Show for a chat anyhow. Regarding the bearings in question, I believe they were our 1/LJ.3/16", and in any case am enclosing herewith four of these which I trust will cover your purpose, and again I do hope you will accept my apologies for this delay. Kindest regards, Yours sincerely, F.{Mr Friese} O.{Mr Oldham} Hickling Enclosure 1/LJ.3/16" four off. | ||
