W.A. Robotham, Esq., Messrs. Rolls-Royce, Ltd., DERBY. Dear Robotham, Thank you for yours of the 23rd, from which I note you may not be at the Works on the 3rd but will be on the 4th. As far as I am concerned, I can stay an extra day in the Midlands and go over on the 4th but I am writing to find out whether this suits Oliver Lucas as well. I note that you are writing me again in the meantime telling me definitely your movements and that there is still a possibility that you might be able to deal with us on the Tuesday. If you go to Scotland, I hope you will find some grouse. Most people who have moors there seem only too pleased to have people come and shoot. Yours sincerely, G.R.M. Minchin. E.R.W. | ||
