1379. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}6/R.{Sir Henry Royce} 15th February, 1939. V.E. Morgan, Esq., Reuters Limited, 9, Carmelite Street, Thames Embankment, LONDON. E.C.4. Dear Morgan, If ever I wish to become famous I shall employ you as my Publicity Agent. I thought Lefèvre's article was very entertaining. Obviously, his remark about your being "déchaîné" was due to the double grog which you consumed before dinner. I conclude that even if you were not what he said, he felt that you jolly well ought to have been after you had added a couple of pints of Vierschbohle to the Apertif. Yours sincerely, | ||
