A.{Mr Adams} Robotham, Esq., Experimental Department, Messrs. Rolls-Royce Ltd., DERBY. Dear Robotham, First of all, many apologies for not knowing your initials and for spelling your name wrongly - I hate anybody who does this to me! Thank you very much for your letter and it is verygood of you to say that you will let me have some modified brakes for my Bentley. It will be going to Messrs. Park Ward's shortly for repairs to the body when perhaps it will be a convenient time for you to do the brakes. However, may I ring you up and find out if this will suit you? Hoping to see you soon. Yours sincerely, (Signature of C S Staniland) Handwritten note: W.R.- Write Staniland. Say we want car here for two days. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} | ||
