A.{Mr Adams} Robotham Esq., Messrs. Rolls Royce Ltd., Derby. Dear Bill, I am enclosing a copy of a letter which I have to-day written to Park Ward, which I think is self-explanatory. The India Tyre Co. have asked me if they might publish the letter I wrote you about India tyres. I have said I have no objection, provided they do nothing to offend the Dunlop Co., with whom we do quite a fair business. I have now done nearly 11,000 miles on the motor car, and there is still some tread left on the front tyres. Apart from the front wing flap, the car is going very well. Yours sincerely, Richard RFS/HC. 1 Encl. | ||
