E.W.Hives Esq. Messrs.Rolls-Royce Ltd. DERBY. Dear Sir, We have your letter to hand and presume the Vauxhall Car has now arrived at Derby. For some unexplained reason our man took the Car back to the Works, Luton, instead of taking it to Derby yesterday morning. Vauxhall's rang us up to enquire why the Car had been sent to them and we instructed them to tell the man to take it to you at Derby, hence the reason of his not arriving there at 10 o'clock yesterday morning. With a view to him not being late he left here at 7 o'clock so as to give you an opportunity of having the Car for the major portion of the day. Yours faithfully, for W.Watson & Co.
