| X1031 90 Droury Lane Derby July 11th 1934 H.{Arthur M. Hanbury - Head Complaints} Rototham Esq. Dear Sir, I wonder whether you would assist me to get a job of some sort at R.R.? I don't suppose you know me by name but I know you play for the Derby Hockey club occasionally & as I also am a member & have played with you at times I am afraid I have used this rather flimsy acquaintance to get in touch with you. Several times in the past few weeks I have been up to R.R. when "setting on" has been in progress, but although I am young & hefty they seem rather chary of giving me an unskilled post as I am "professional".
