Dear Sir, Replying to your letter of the 3rd instant we do not propose at the moment sending you back a distributor for conversion as they are now in use and it would mean holding up the job.

We are returning this lever to you and suggest you have the matter immediately investigated as this is serious. Yours faithfully, FOR ROLLS-ROYCE LIMITED. | ||
