Dear Mr. Robotham, I am very much obliged to you for your letter of the 29th instant, and it would interest me very much indeed to come up and drive one of your Bentley cars. Unfortunately at the present moment, owing to a number of the staff being on holiday, it is somewhat difficult for me to get away, but, with your permission, I will write you as soon as I can arrange a day. Thanking you, I am, Yours sincerely, G.{Mr Griffiths - Chief Accountant / Mr Gnapp} Matravers [Watermark: Salobell Bond] | ||
